Overview
- The notice, dated November 19, orders removal of the four-storey house within three days, with officials describing it as unauthorised construction on Defence Ministry land.
- The property remains in the late Hammad Siddiqui’s name, and cantonment rules allow permissions only to the registered titleholder, leading authorities to deem the structure unauthorised.
- Enforcement Directorate officers arrested Al Falah Group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui on November 18 in a money laundering case tied to alleged false NAAC accreditation claims involving Al Falah University.
- Multiple investigations have intensified after reports that at least two Al Falah Medical College doctors were linked to a suspected terror module under probe for the November 10 Red Fort blast that killed 13 people.
- Police also arrested Jawad’s brother, Hamud Ahmed Siddiqui, in Hyderabad on long-pending investment-fraud cases from 2000, alleging he lived under a new identity while running a stock investment firm.
