On January 17, 2026, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a detailed 260-page chargesheet against the Al Falah Group and its chairman, Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui. The probe, which stems from the devastating November 10, 2025 Red Fort car blast, has revealed a massive medical and financial scandal centered at Al Falah University in Faridabad.
The ED’s findings paint a picture of an institution that allegedly operated as a front for money laundering while unwittingly (or otherwise) housing a terror module.
6 Shocking Revelations by the ED
1. Terror-Linked Doctors Hired Without Scrutiny
The university appointed three doctors who were later identified as key members of a terror module behind the Red Fort blast.
- Dr. Umar Nabi: The alleged suicide bomber who was driving the explosive-laden vehicle.
- Dr. Muzammil Ganaie & Dr. Shaheen Saeed: Both were arrested by the NIA. The ED confirmed these doctors were hired without any police verification or background checks, despite the sensitive nature of a medical campus.
2. The “On-Paper” Doctors Scandal
To maintain its National Medical Commission (NMC) approvals, the university allegedly employed “ghost” specialists. These doctors existed only on paper, with terms like “22-day punch” or “two days per week” used to trick regulators. In reality, these specialists never taught students or treated a single patient at the facility.
3. “Fake” Patients During Inspections
Text messages and video evidence show the hospital was largely non-functional. To pass regulatory inspections, the university allegedly hired “fake” patients to fill beds just days before inspectors arrived, creating the illusion of a busy healthcare hub.
4. ₹493.24 Crore “Proceeds of Crime”
The ED has quantified the total illicit funds generated at nearly ₹493.24 crore. This money was allegedly collected as fees from thousands of students by making false claims about NAAC accreditation and UGC recognition, which the ED says had actually lapsed or were never granted.
5. Siphoning Funds to Family Firms
The investigation found that institutional funds were systematically routed into family-controlled entities like Amla Enterprises LLP and Diyala Construction. Over ₹110 crore was diverted for personal use, including foreign remittances to Siddiqui’s wife and son.
6. British Citizenship & Overseas Links
The ED is currently verifying claims that Siddiqui’s children, Afham Ahmed and Afiya Siddiqa, hold British citizenship. Foreign incorporation filings reportedly list them as UK nationals, raising concerns about the flight risk of assets and individuals involved in the case.
The Red Fort Blast Context
The case took on national urgency after the November 10, 2025 explosion near the Red Fort metro station, which killed 15 people. Investigators found that the car used in the blast had been parked inside the Al Falah campus for 20 days, and the module used a room in the medical college to plan logistics.
