ED May Attach Al Falah University Campus
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India is investigating Al Falah University and its chairman, Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, for money laundering.
They believe the university used illegal money to build its campus and tricked students by saying it was properly recognized when it wasn't.
The ED might take control of the university's property to stop the money from being used or hidden.
Students might still be able to study there while the investigation continues.
The case is connected to a terror attack at the Red Fort, where a doctor from the university's medical college was involved.
The ED says the university and its trust made about Rs 415.10 crore by lying to students and their parents.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating Al Falah University for alleged money laundering and false accreditation claims.
The ED may attach the university's campus in Faridabad under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Al Falah Group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui was arrested in November 2023 on money laundering charges.
The ED alleges that the university generated Rs 415.10 crore by dishonestly inducing students and parents with false accreditation claims.
The investigation is connected to a terror module probe, including the Red Fort blast in November 2023.
