New Delhi: Nearly a year after a case involving a terror module linked to Al Falah University came to light in Faridabad’s Dhauj village, its impact is still visible in the lives of local people. Fear and distrust over the incident remain in the minds of villagers. Many landlords now want to gather full details about the identity and background of any unknown person before renting out a room. Villagers say it is necessary to remain vigilant so that such an incident does not happen again in the future.
During the investigation into the explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort in November 2025, the names of some doctors linked to Al Falah University had surfaced. Investigating agencies arrested Dr. Muzammil Ahmad Ganai and others on allegations of being connected with an alleged terror network. Reports that a large quantity of explosive material was recovered from Muzammil’s rented room in Dhauj village had shocked the entire area.
After this incident, concern also increased over the village’s identity and social image. Local people said the alleged crimes of a few individuals had affected the entire village. Villagers made it clear that the accused were outsiders and that the village’s traditional brotherhood remains intact.
After the incident, emphasis was placed at the panchayat level on police verification of tenants. Reports had also emerged that residences of some doctors and students linked to Al Falah University were vacated. Landlords now consider it necessary to check tenants’ identity cards, permanent addresses and other documents.
Even after nearly a year, for the people of Dhauj this incident is not just old news but a lesson linked to security and trust. Villagers want investigating agencies to take action against the guilty and ensure that no innocent person or entire community is viewed with suspicion.
