In an official note, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr Bhupinder Kaur Anand said the university had “no connection with the said persons apart from them being working in their official capacities with the University”, and described reports linking the institution to the incident as false and defamatory.

“The University also notes with deep concern that certain online platforms are circulating baseless and misleading stories with the clear intent of maligning the reputation and goodwill of the University. We strongly condemn and categorically deny all such false and defamatory allegations.”
The university further clarified that all its laboratories operate strictly for academic purposes under regulatory norms.
“It is hereby clarified that no such chemical or material, as is being alleged by certain platforms, is being used, stored, or handled within the University premises. The University laboratories are used solely and exclusively for the academic and training requirements of MBBS students and other authorised courses. Every laboratory activity is carried out in strict adherence to established safety protocols, statutory norms, and ethical standards mandated by the regulatory authorities,” the statement added.
It further read: “We also want to make it loud and clear that as a responsible institution, we stand in solidarity with the nation and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the unity, peace, and security of our country. Moreover, the University is extending its full cooperation to the concerned investigating authorities to enable them to arrive at a logical, fair, and conclusive determination in the matter pertaining to national security.”
Earlier today, Faridabad Police refuted social-media claims that the Hyundai i20 car used in the Delhi blast had been parked on the university premises for several days. Police clarified that they had found no such evidence.

Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formed a specialised team to probe the Delhi car blast, which authorities suspect was executed by a Jaish-e-Mohammad-linked terror module operating across multiple states.
