The Al-Falah Charitable Trust/Al-Falah University is under scrutiny for money laundering, with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seizing land valued at Rs 139.97 crore. The ED has filed a chargesheet against the imprisoned Chairman Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui and others in a Special Court under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Following the discovery of a terror module involving doctors linked to the university, suspicions have surrounded the institution. Notably, a doctor associated with the university was allegedly connected to a car explosion near the Red Fort on November 10.
Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the ED has taken legal action against Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui and accomplices concerning the Al-Falah Charitable Trust/Al-Falah University. Siddiqui, who has been in custody since November 18, 2025, is accused of controlling the trust and associated entities to benefit from illicit gains.
The ED’s investigation, triggered by Delhi Police FIRs, revealed fraudulent activities leading to a substantial amount of illicit funds. Siddiqui, as the Managing Trustee and Chancellor, allegedly manipulated accreditations and certifications to deceive stakeholders and gain personal advantages.
Allegations include misrepresentation of the university’s recognition status and violations of regulatory norms in the medical college. The ED also uncovered a complex network of fund transfers involving Siddiqui’s family-owned entities and foreign remittances, indicating misuse of institutional funds for personal gain.
