The Delhi Police has issued two summons to Al Falah University chairman in connection with the ongoing probe into the Faridabad terror module case and the two cases registered against the university for forgery and cheating, an official said on Monday. The summons were sent after investigators found that the university's chairman Javed Ahmad Siddiqui's statement was crucial for clarifying several inconsistencies linked to the functioning of the university and the activities of individuals associated with the institution. The Crime Branch has already registered two FIRs against the Haryana-based university for cheating and forgery, following serious red flags raised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) on Saturday. Officials said both regulatory bodies flagged "major irregularities" after reviewing the university's accreditation claims and submitted their findings to law enforcement agencies. "The FIRs pertain to alle

"On Saturday night, teams seized 34 unattended vehicles during a special operation, while 417 challans were issued under the Delhi Police Act in a five-hour checking drive," the officer said. The security push is part of a broader strategy implemented after the blast, he said.

In a bid to piece together the precise sequence of events before the blast near Red Fort, the investigators have prepared a detailed list of each vehicle that entered the nearby parking area where the exploded car was stationed for three hours, an official said on Saturday.

The Delhi Police Special Cell has also registered a separate FIR in the case under sections pertaining to criminal conspiracy to probe the deeper conspiracy behind the blast. The earlier FIR under sections under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was transferred to the National Investigation Agency. Sources said several vehicles were stationed nearby when Dr Umar Nabi, who was behind the wheels of the exploded car, stationed it in the parking lot on Monday. "Every driver who was present there around that time is being trace
