Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui Held Over ₹45 Crore Land Fraud in Delhi

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Al-Falah Group Chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in connection with a fresh money laundering case linked to the alleged fraudulent कब्जा of land worth ₹45 crore in Delhi. The 61-year-old Siddiqui had earlier been arrested in November 2025 in a separate case involving alleged fraud with students over the recognition of educational institutions. In the latest development, he has been taken into custody from Tihar Jail and produced before a court, which has remanded him to ED custody until April 4. According to the investigation, forged documents were allegedly prepared to grab 1.14 acres of land in Madanpur Khadar village in Delhi. While the actual value of the land is estimated at ₹45 crore, it was reportedly shown as only ₹75 lakh in official records. The case has also brought scrutiny on the university linked to the group. It had earlier come under the scanner during the investigation of a ‘white-collar’ extremist module related to a blast near the Red Fort area in November 2025. Allegations suggest that the suicide attacker involved in the incident was a doctor associated with the same university. The ED is currently examining financial transactions linked to the case and is working to identify other individuals who may be involved. Police and other investigative agencies are also closely monitoring the developments.
