Al Falah chief ‘dishonestly made Rs4.15b’

STUDENTS MISLED BY FRAUDULENT CLAIMS OF NAAC ACCREDITATION

- BY STEPHEN N.R.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has alleged that the Al Falah University group in Faridabad and its controlling charitable trust generated proceeds of crime worth Rs4.15 billion by misleading students and parents with fraudulent claims of NAAC accreditation and UGC recognition, according to a remand application accessed by ANI.

The assertion came as the ED arrested Al Falah group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui late Tuesday under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Siddiqui’s arrest followed search operations across 19 locations in Delhi and NCR, including the university campus and residences of key functionaries.
