Last month, the ED arrested Siddiqui in a fresh money laundering case involving forgery of documents and usurpation of land in south Delhi.Siddiqui was earlier arrested in November 2025 following the Delhi blast. The ED’s first money laundering case against him stems from two separate criminal cases registered by Delhi Police against Al-Falah University for misleading NAAC accreditation claims and fake UGC recognition.“The FIRs alleged that Al-Falah University, promoted by the Al-Falah Charitable Trust, falsely projected expired NAAC ‘A’ grade accreditation as valid and also claimed non-existent UGC Section 12B recognition,” the ED said.Though Al-Falah University denied all charges, the ED’s investigation revealed that the Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Centre had intentionally committed several lapses to obtain accreditation from the National Medical Commission.“Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Centre was found to be engaged in malpractices, including deployment of ‘on-paper faculty’ and ‘fake patients’, to secure National Medical Commission (NMC) approvals,” the ED said.Investigations against Al-Falah Trust began after the Delhi blast on November 10. All the main accused, including the suicide bomber Umar un Nabi, were in some way connected to Al-Falah University located in Faridabad.In January, the ED filed its first prosecution complaint against Siddiqui. The probe agency claimed that by using fake NAAC accreditation and forged UGC recognition, proceeds of crime amounting to ₹493 crore were generated. The ED has also provisionally attached assets worth Rs 139 crore.“An active role of Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui has been found during the investigation. He exercised dominant control over Al-Falah Charitable Trust, Al-Falah University (including Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Centre), and related entities, and is a key beneficiary of the unlawful proceeds,” the ED said in January. The federal probe agency filed its first prosecution complaint against Siddiqui and Al-Falah Charitable Trust in January.
