The Saket Court in New Delhi, India, has denied the bail plea of Jawad Ahmed Siddique in a significant money laundering case linked to Al Falah Trust. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleges that the Trust generated proceeds of crime amounting to ₹493.24 crore (approximately $59 million USD) by inducing students to enroll in various educational institutions. Siddique is accused of using fraudulent methods to obtain an Essentiality Certificate from the Government of Haryana and permissions from the National Medical Commission. The court, presided over by Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan, noted that Siddique misused his position as Managing Trustee and Chancellor, routing money through related parties owned by his family. The ED's Special Counsel argued that fraudulent practices were employed to lure students and secure regulatory approvals. The case has significant implications for educational institutions and regulatory compliance in India.
