India, Nov. 13 -- The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) suspended the membership of Al-Falah University in Faridabad on Thursday, after a police probe into the Red Fort car explosion connected a group of individuals with links to the university to the terrorist attack.

In a letter to Al-Falah University vice chancellor Bhupinder Kaur Anand, AIU secretary Pankaj Mittal said that universities were treated as members only as long as they remained in "good standing" under the association bye-laws.

"However, as per media reports, it has come to notice that Al-Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana does not appear to be in good standing," the letter said.

Consequently, the university's membership "stands suspended with immediate effect"...
