The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a comprehensive charge sheet against Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, the chairman of Faridabad-based Al-Falah University, and the Al-Falah Charitable Trust, as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation. In a significant development, the agency also provisionally attached assets worth ₹139 crore, including a 54-acre land parcel located within the university campus, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This action stems from allegations that the university and its controlling trust made fraudulent and misleading claims about its UGC recognition and NAAC accreditation to deceive students, parents, and stakeholders for wrongful financial gain. The ED's probe revealed that the Al-Falah Charitable Trust, effectively controlled by Siddiqui, allegedly generated "proceeds of crime" amounting to at least ₹415.10 crore (some reports mention ₹493.24 crore) by inducing students and parents through these false claims. Investigators found evidence of alleged financial irregularities where firms controlled by the Siddiqui family reportedly received contracts for hostel catering and construction within the university and hospital complex. The charitable trust is also accused of siphoning university funds to acquire land. Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui was initially arrested by the ED in November 2025 on money laundering charges. The case has broader implications, as the money laundering investigation is linked to a larger probe into a white-collar terror module. This module reportedly included doctors who were working or studying at Al-Falah University, and it is connected to the November 10 Red Fort blast. One such individual, Dr. Umar-un-Nabi, who allegedly carried out the Red Fort blast, was a student at the same institution. The ED initiated its investigation based on two FIRs registered by the Delhi Police Crime Branch, which highlighted the university's false claims regarding accreditation. The attachment of assets under PMLA aims to prevent the dissipation of these alleged proceeds of crime and ensures that the properties linked to the illicit funds are secured.
