Punjab: ED conducts searches at multiple locations in Pathankot
Officials are learnt to have examined financial documents, business records and other materials during the searches.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to initiate a money laundering probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Faridabad-based Al-Falah University, official sources claimed on Thursday.
The move comes after some of its doctors were allegedly part of the ‘Doctor Terror Module’ of the Jaish-e-Mohammad wing and were implicated in the November 10 Red Fort blast case which claimed at least 13 lives.

Government sources said a financial audit of the University will be conducted, and based on its findings, action will be taken. The Economic Offences Wing of the Haryana Police has also been asked to initiate a similar probe.

Al-Falah University is reportedly the epicentre of the ongoing investigation into the case.
Sources added that the ED and other financial investigation agencies will probe the finances of the doctors linked to Al-Falah University.
Meanwhile, Mohd Razi, legal advisor for Al Falah U. (Trust), asserted that the University has done nothing wrong. “Al Falah’s funding comes only from fees. We do not receive any external funding. We will cooperate fully with the investigating agency,” he said.
