Al Falah University President Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui gets interim bail, Saket court approves it for 2 weeks
New Delhi’s Saket Court has granted two weeks’ interim bail to Al Falah University President Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui on money laundering charges. While granting bail, the court said that the health of Jawad’s wife is serious and the charge sheet has already been filed in the case. The court has given this bail for a limited period and will remain in force till further orders.
Seeking bail, Jawad told the court that his wife is suffering from stage-four metastatic ovarian cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi. Considering this serious health reason, the court granted him limited period bail.
Can challenge interim bail ED
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has indicated that it may challenge the two-week interim bail granted by a Delhi court to Al Falah University Group Chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui. According to officials, several other aspects of the case are still under investigation and the ED believes that Siddiqui may influence the investigation during this bail period. Siddiqui, who is 61 years old, was granted bail by the court on Saturday in a money laundering case. ED has objected to this bail.
Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui accused of raising illegal money
Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, chairman of Al Falah University Group, is accused of raising illegal funds through fees taken from the students of the Faridabad-based educational institution and giving false information about the affiliation and certification of colleges. ED had arrested Siddiqui in November 2025 and he is currently in judicial custody. Siddiqui had filed an application for interim bail to take care of his wife. His wife is suffering from cancer and is scheduled for chemotherapy on March 12. ED officials said the agency will soon challenge the local court order in the Delhi High Court.
Case registered in Red Fort blast case
According to officials, the local court did not seriously consider the ED’s arguments while granting interim bail to Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui. ED said that an FIR has also been registered against Siddiqui under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) related to the blast that took place in front of the Red Fort on November 10 last year. The agency believes that the bail decision in these cases may impact the investigation, and hence it will challenge the order in the High Court.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to inform the High Court that several irregularities took place during appointments at Al Falah Medical College. According to the chargesheet, the alleged suicide bomber of the Red Fort area blast and other experts, including two doctors arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), were appointed to the college without any police verification or investigation.
