Delhi Court Denies Bail to Al Falah University Chairman in Money Laundering Case

A Delhi court rejected the regular bail plea of Jawad Ahmed Siddique, chairman of Al Falah University group, in a money laundering case involving alleged illicit funds from student fees. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet accusing Siddique of deceiving regulators to obtain approvals and misusing charitable institutions for personal gain. Siddique was arrested in November 2025 and remains in judicial custody, with ongoing investigations and separate charges filed by the Delhi Police Crime Branch. The court previously granted interim bail on humanitarian grounds, which the ED challenged.
