Delhi Police strike again against alleged malfeasance at Al-Falah University, arresting Chairman Javed Ahmad Siddiqui and securing four days of remand from the court. The Crime Branch’s action intensifies scrutiny on the Faridabad-based institution, long shadowed by controversy.
With two FIRs already filed, the probe targets profound charges requiring Siddiqui’s custodial cooperation. Questioning will probe university governance, financial intricacies, and operational nuances, poised to uncover pivotal evidence.
Previously, the university drew heat when anti-terror operations revealed doctor-linked terror activities, pinpointing involvement in the November 2025 car blast near historic Red Fort. ED’s PMLA chargesheet against Siddiqui resulted in attaching prime assets worth Rs 139.97 crore, spanning 54 acres.
Siddiqui allegedly dominated the Al-Falah Charitable Trust and university ecosystem—including its medical research center—as the ultimate controller and profiteer. Employing nominal proxies, he managed all spheres, notoriously circumventing NMC protocols via misinformation and omissions to legitimize the medical college.
This development amplifies calls for stringent monitoring of educational nonprofits, particularly in finance and compliance. Outcomes from the remand could cascade into wider repercussions, reinforcing institutional integrity.
