“We interrogated around 50 more people related to the matter. We are also examining CCTV footage and dump data of the cell phones to zero in on more suspects. We are in constant touch with the JK Police,” said the official.

The JK Police have as of now arrested 15 doctors and have detained three medical professionals.

Meanwhile, the government sources said a financial audit of the Al Falah University was on to decide the future course of action.

“The Economic Offence Wing of the Haryana Police is also doing a parallel probe,” the official said.

Al-Falah University is reportedly the epicentre of the ongoing investigation into the Delhi Blast case.

The Doctor Terror module had planned to carry out terrorist activities at more than 32 places across the nation on December 6. However, JK Police foiled their plan.

The investigation traces back to an objectionable poster containing threats to security forces, put up in the Nowgam Police Station area of Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. A case was registered on October 19 in this regard.

The evidence in the Delhi Red Fort Blast case has indicated that Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammad handlers were in touch with the Terror Doctor Module which were allegedly behind the blast.

Also, the investigation agencies are now claiming that modified explosives might have been used in the blast.

The agencies are also examining documents containing information about White Collar Educated Radicals who have been arrested between 2001 and 2025.
