New Delhi, Nov 18: The Enforcement Directorate arrested Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, Chairman of the Al Falah Group and Managing Trustee of the Al Falah Charitable Trust, in connection with an alleged money-laundering racket linked to fake accreditation claims, diversion of funds, and massive financial irregularities following extensive searches and the examination of evidence recovered during raids at premises linked to the Al Falah Group earlier in the day.

The ED initiated its probe on the basis of two FIRs registered by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police, which accused Al-Falah University, Faridabad, of fraudulently claiming NAAC accreditation and making misleading assertions about its recognition under Section 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956, an eligibility clause for receiving government grants.
