Al-Falah University is facing legal, financial, and regulatory scrutiny following its alleged involvement in a terror financing probe linked to the November 2025 Red Fort car blast.

The university's role emerged during the probe into a "white-collar" terror module in which more than 10 people, including three doctors, were arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Jammu and Kashmir Police. While classes have resumed, the campus is still under investigation, and there is lingering concern regarding the future of students and staff.
