New Delhi- More than 200 doctors and staff at Al Falah University are under investigation after the November 10 car blast near Delhi's Red Fort, sources said. Security agencies have been conducting frequent checks on the campus, prompting several employees to leave with packed belongings on Wednesday.

Investigators are trying to identify individuals who left the university after the blast and suspect that some may have links to the terrorists. Many people have deleted mobile data, which will also be probed. Police are searching hostels and rented rooms outside campus, and more than 1,000 people have been questioned.

A 35 year old Anganwadi worker who had rented a room to suicide bomber Dr Umar Un Nabi in Nuh has been detained. She had been absconding since the blast. Her family and seven other people from Nuh are also being questioned. Umar reportedly used multiple phones during his stay there.

Footfall at Al Falah Medical College hospital has fallen sharply since the institute's links to terrorism came to light, dropping from nearly 200 patients a day to less than 100.

Doctors said Umar was absent for almost six months in 2023 without leave and resumed duty without any action taken. They said he rarely took classes, worked only evening or night shifts, and often stayed in his room.

Multiple agencies, including the NIA, Delhi Police Special Cell, UP ATS, Faridabad Crime Branch and J and K Police, are conducting investigations at the university. The Enforcement Directorate also reached the campus on Tuesday, and teams have set up a temporary command centre inside the university.
