A special court in Delhi has remanded Javed Ahmed Siddiqui, chairman of the Al-Falah Group, to 13-day Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody. Additional Sessions Judge Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan passed the order after a midnight hearing in her chamber.
The founder of Al Falah University was produced at the residence of Additional Sessions Judge Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan of Saket Court at 11:00 pm. In the remand order, the court stated that sufficient grounds exist to charge Siddiqui with large-scale fraud, making false recognition claims, and money laundering related to the transfer of funds received from Al-Falah University.
The ED arrested Siddiqui late on November 18, 2025, under Section 19 of the PMLA. The agency told the court that the investigation is in its preliminary stages and custodial interrogation is necessary to unearth further links to the crime, prevent the destruction of criminally acquired assets, and eliminate the possibility of pressuring witnesses or destroying evidence.
₹415.10 crore in income
According to the financial analysis presented before the court, Al-Falah Institute earned approximately ₹415.10 crore in income from tuition fees and other sources between the financial years 2018-19 and 2024-25. The ED claims this amount is proceeds of crime because the university misrepresented its accreditation and legal status to the public during this period.
Siddiqui is now in ED custody for 13 days
The court held that this money was directly obtained through fraud, forgery, and the use of forged documents, which are offenses listed under the PMLA schedule. Therefore, custodial interrogation was justified. Javed Ahmed Siddiqui will now remain in ED custody for 13 days.
Al Falah University Founder Javed Arrested
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Javed Ahmed, founder of Faridabad's Al Falah University, who was under investigation in the Red Fort car bomb blast case.

His arrest came after the agency raided the university and approximately 25 locations associated with it on Tuesday.
The ED gathered substantial evidence against him before the arrest.
The Red Fort car bomb blast case is linked to this university. Dr. Umar Nabi, the perpetrator of the blast, was associated with the university's hospital.

As the investigation into the Delhi bombing progresses, the university has also come under scrutiny. Following an investigation into the university's financial transactions, the ED has now arrested founder Javed Siddiqui. The ED has initiated this investigation on the basis of two FIRs registered by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police.
