Al-Falah University faces investigation amid allegations of fraud and staff abuse
By Tajul Islam
Al-Falah University, a private medical institution in Faridabad, is under intense scrutiny following explosive allegations of malpractice, discrimination, and potential links to a terrorist networks, according to a report by OpIndia. Former employees have come forward with claims that cast serious doubt on the university’s operations, ethical standards, and treatment of staff and patients.
According to the former employee, the institution allegedly maintained a large-scale system of “bogus medical files,” with as many as 100 to 150 fabricated patient records being processed every day. These records reportedly involved falsified treatments and nonexistent procedures, raising questions about the university hospital’s compliance with medical regulations and ethical standards.
The whistleblower, who requested anonymity, claimed that staff members were coerced into creating fake patient files, sometimes under threat of salary deductions or punitive actions. “Employees who refused to participate in generating bogus files were either punished or had their salaries cut,” the former staff member revealed. The allegations further suggested that Hindu employees, in particular, faced discrimination and were subjected to targeted mistreatment, adding a layer of communal tension to the already serious accusations.
The claims extend to the hospital’s night shift, where employees were reportedly required to complete at least five fabricated files per night. The whistleblower stated that these fake entries often listed treatments or medications that were never administered. This, they said, was part of a larger funding scheme, allegedly aimed at generating revenue through fraudulent documentation.
Adding a more disturbing dimension, the former employee alleged links between the university hospital and a terrorist network. The disclosure mentions a Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, identified as allegedly connected to a module that included individuals involved in terrorist activities, including a suicide bomber referred to as “Dr. Age Prophet.” According to the source, hospital staff were sometimes forced to participate in activities indirectly connected to this network, including preparing bogus files linked to patients supposedly associated with this module.
Discrimination against Hindu staff was reportedly widespread. The whistleblower detailed instances where Hindu employees were marginalized, excluded from duties, or even publicly humiliated while colleagues of Kashmiri or Pakistani origin received preferential treatment. In some cases, employees were reportedly subjected to coercion to chant slogans praising Pakistan, creating an environment of intimidation and fear. “Staff members, particularly Hindu employees, were made to participate in activities that were both discriminatory and demeaning. Those who resisted faced salary cuts or other punishments,” the source said.
Authorities have reportedly taken note of these claims. Local agencies, including tax and regulatory authorities, are said to be conducting meticulous checks on the university’s financial and operational activities. Investigations are focusing not only on the alleged bogus files but also on possible irregularities in the purchase of hospital supplies and other administrative malpractices.
The controversy has not gone unnoticed by students and their families. Guardians of the university’s students have expressed serious concern about the safety and legitimacy of the institution. Over 360 guardians reportedly participated in a virtual meeting to discuss the implications of the allegations and the future of their children’s medical education. Many expressed fear that the current administrative practices could jeopardize the quality of education and patient care. They have demanded that the Haryana government and the Central Health Ministry intervene to ensure accountability and transparency.
“The revelations are alarming. If these allegations are true, they not only point to severe administrative malpractice but also raise questions about the ethical standards maintained in training future medical professionals,” said one concerned guardian.
This unfolding situation casts a shadow over Al-Falah University’s credibility and highlights the pressing need for stringent oversight of private medical institutions. As authorities continue their investigations, the broader public awaits clarity on the extent of malpractice, potential terrorist links, and discriminatory practices at the university.
The Haryana government and central authorities are now under pressure to take decisive action. Investigators are reportedly examining every aspect of the university’s operations, from financial audits to patient records, to ensure that any wrongdoing is thoroughly addressed.
As this story develops, stakeholders-including students, staff, and concerned citizens-are demanding accountability, transparency, and corrective measures to prevent further malpractice and discrimination. The situation at Al-Falah University serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by regulatory authorities in monitoring private educational institutions and safeguarding public trust in healthcare education.
