The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has identified Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, the president and chancellor of Al-Falah University, as the primary suspect in a significant regulatory and money laundering scandal. This case involves the controversial appointment of an individual linked to the Red Fort blast without proper verification. Following the dismantling of a terrorist module last November, Al-Falah University came under scrutiny. Four doctors associated with the university were charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the Delhi bombings, while several others were interrogated and arrested. Siddiqui was also apprehended in relation to the money laundering investigation, with ongoing inquiries into his connections to the blasts.

According to the prosecution's complaint, the ED claims to have uncovered a detailed scheme in which the university and its medical college allegedly adhered to fraudulent regulations. The alleged violations include the use of fake doctors and patients, forged documents, and the transfer of funds abroad. Investigators assert that Siddiqui maintained direct and centralized control over appointments, finances, and regulatory matters. ED sources allege that Al-Falah University listed numerous doctors as full-time faculty members on paper only to meet the National Medical Commission (NMC) standards. Statements recorded during the investigation indicate that many of these faculty members never fulfilled their responsibilities on campus.
