The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is reportedly initiating steps to provisionally attach the campus of Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This move comes amidst an ongoing investigation into significant financial irregularities and alleged links to terror financing. The probe gained momentum following the Red Fort area blast in November 2025, after which the university came under intense scrutiny. The ED arrested Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, the founder and chairman of the Al-Falah Group, in November 2025 on money laundering charges. The agency's investigation, which commenced with an ECIR registered on November 14, 2025, after taking cognizance of two Delhi Police FIRs, uncovered a wide-ranging scam. According to the ED, the university and its controlling trust, allegedly under Siddiqui's direction, generated illicit funds totaling at least ₹415.1 crore. This was achieved by fraudulently misleading students and parents with false claims of accreditation from bodies like NAAC and recognition from UGC. Further investigation revealed that crores of rupees were allegedly diverted from the trust to family-owned entities for non-educational purposes. The ED also identified a network of nine shell companies, all registered at the same address, linked to the Al-Falah Group, indicating a sophisticated money-laundering operation. Disturbingly, the investigation has also unearthed alleged links of two senior Al-Falah officials, including doctors, with banned organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), further deepening the gravity of the case. The agency has conducted extensive raids at over 25 locations connected to the university and its associated entities. While the provisional attachment aims to prevent the dissipation of proceeds of crime, sources indicate that measures would be taken to ensure that students enrolled at the university can continue their studies without interruption.
