The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, chairman of Al-Falah University, and two others for the fraudulent acquisition of land in Madanpur Khadar, Delhi. The chargesheet alleges that Siddiqui and his associates used forged General Powers of Attorney (GPAs) to facilitate the transfer of land, despite many of the original owners having died years prior. The GPAs in question were dated January 7, 2004, but the individuals named had passed away between 1972 and 1998. The ED's investigation revealed that Siddiqui orchestrated a scheme to forge signatures and create a facade of legitimate banking transactions, resulting in an estimated ₹47.76 crore in proceeds from crime. The agency has also attached land valued at ₹45.84 crore linked to Siddiqui and his trust, Tarbia Education Foundation. Additionally, the university is under scrutiny for allegedly defrauding students and parents through false accreditation claims, generating proceeds of at least ₹415.10 crore.
