Overview
- The Enforcement Directorate filed a prosecution complaint under the PMLA against founder-chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui and the Al-Falah Charitable Trust before a Delhi court, with Siddiqui in judicial custody since his November 18 arrest.
- The agency provisionally attached about 54 acres of land and buildings at the Faridabad campus valued at roughly Rs 139.97–140 crore to prevent disposal of alleged proceeds, with officials indicating arrangements to keep classes running and safeguard students.
- The case stems from alleged misrepresentation of NAAC accreditation and UGC Section 12(B) status used to induce admissions and fees, alongside cited violations involving medical education regulators.
- ED says trusts’ funds were layered through family-controlled entities including Amla Enterprises LLP, Karkun Construction & Developers and Diyala Construction & Developers, routing over Rs 110 crore, with outward remittances of more than Rs 4 crore to family members and total alleged proceeds quantified at Rs 493.24 crore.
- The chargesheet records hiring without police verification, use of “on-paper” doctors and fake patients to secure approvals at the medical college, as security agencies continue a separate probe into the Red Fort blast that involved doctors linked to the university.
