The ongoing Delhi blast investigation has taken a significant turn as an underground madrassa, located barely 900 metres from Al Falah University, has come under the strict scrutiny of security agencies.
According to details reported by Tejshree Purandare, investigators suspect that the site may have been used for meetings, coordination, or shelter by individuals linked to the suicide bomber.
Security forces, including local police and central agencies, have intensified surveillance and questioning in the area to trace possible connections to the expanding terror network.
Why the Madrassa Is Being Investigated
Preliminary findings suggest that:
The madrassa is not registered with local authorities
Operated partially underground, raising suspicion
Several frequent visitors matched surveillance patterns
The location is close to movement routes used by the suspects
Some individuals associated with the madrassa may have links to radicalised groups
Officials have collected documents, digital devices, and attendance logs for forensic analysis.
How the Location Became a Key Lead
Investigators tracked mobile tower signals, movement trails, and statements from arrested suspects, which pointed toward the madrassa’s involvement.
Authorities believe:
Meetings may have been held there
The site could have been used as a safe stop
Handler–operative interactions may have occurred nearby
Radical sermons or ideological sessions may have influenced recruits
Though not yet confirmed, the madrassa is now a high-priority investigation point.
Security Agencies at Ground Zero
Over the past 48 hours:
Multiple search teams entered the premises
Teachers, students, and administrators were questioned
Neighbourhood CCTV footage was seized
Surrounding areas were mapped for movement patterns
Drone surveillance and cyber forensics are being added to the investigation strategy.
Local Residents Speak Out
Residents claim:
The madrassa operated “quietly” for years
Outsiders were frequently seen entering late evenings
Activity had increased over the past months
Many locals were unaware of any formal registration
These accounts are helping agencies build a behavioural map of the premises.
Focus on the Larger Network
The Delhi blast probe now spans:
Faridabad
Delhi NCR
Haryana villages
Uttar Pradesh pockets
At least seven suspects are already in custody, and investigators believe the underground madrassa could hold clues to the wider radicalisation and shelter network.
Officials say more arrests are likely.
