The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday carried out a raid at the Delhi office of Al-Falah University in Okhla as part of its probe into an alleged terror module linked to Faridabad and the November 10 blast near the Red Fort that killed at least 15.The operation began around 5 am and is focused on the university, its trustees and related persons or entities, ET has learnt. According to sources quoted by PTI, ED teams have also launched searches at multiple locations across Delhi-NCR as part of the same operation. The action is being taken “under the anti-money laundering law following cognisance of the first information reports filed by the NIA and the Delhi Police in the case”, the sources known to PTI said.Investigators are examining suspected financial and organisational links as part of what officials describe as a “white-collar” terror network involving professionals, including doctors, and individuals associated with academic institutions.Meanwhile, the trustees of the university are also under scanner. The university’s main campus — a medical college-cum-hospital located in the Dhouj area of Faridabad district — is among the locations being examined.The wider investigation has so far led to the recovery of a vehicle believed to be connected to the Red Fort blast, along with large quantities of explosives. Agencies are probing how the network was funded and whether institutional structures were used to facilitate movement of money or material.NIA has so far arrested two individuals described as close aides of “suicide bomber” Dr Umar Nabi, and the financial trail connected to this group is now a key focus of the ED’s money-laundering probe.
