Delhi High Court Seeks ED Response on Al Falah University Chairman's Bail Plea

The Delhi High Court has sought the Enforcement Directorate's response on Al Falah University chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui's regular bail plea in a money laundering case. Siddiqui, arrested in November 2025, faces allegations of diverting over Rs 415 crore collected from students for personal use. The case involves claims that the university misrepresented its accreditation. The court scheduled the main bail hearing for July and will consider Siddiqui's interim bail request later this month. Earlier, a trial court had rejected his bail application in May.
