Most MBBS students at Al Falah Medical College in Faridabad’s Dhauj did not have any real interaction with Dr Muzammil Ganai, a junior resident doctor working in the emergency wing of the institute, who was arrested on October 30 after J&K Police linked him to “interstate and transnational terror module”.

"He was a JR doctor in the emergency wing, so never came to teach us. We learnt about him after hearing the news of his arrest,” said a third-year MBBS student at the college.
