The statement further added, “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.”

“Our students are sincerely engaged in acquiring education, and it is imperative that every effort should be made to ensure that their education continues in an atmosphere of peace, normalcy, and academic discipline on campus,” it concluded.

Police said they conducted inspections at the university throughout the day on Tuesday and questioned several people.

On Monday evening, a high-intensity blast ripped through a slow moving car near Delhi’s Red Fort metro station, killing 12 people and injuring several others.

The blast came hours after eight people, including three doctors connected to the university, were arrested, and 2,900 kilograms of explosives were seized in what investigators described as a “white-collar terror module” allegedly involving Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, spanning Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.

Dr Umar Un Nabi from Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, the suspected suicide attacker, was reportedly an assistant professor at the university.

Two other alleged suspects, Dr Muzzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Shahid from Lucknow—arrested with arms, ammunition, and explosive material—also worked at the university.

Students at the college reportedly said that the accused doctors rarely interacted with them. Police have searched the 76-acre university campus, including the hostel where both students and teachers reside.
