Delhi Blast Update: Who Controls Al-Falah University? Key Figure Tied to Terror Funding

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, the founder and managing trustee of Al-Falah University, in a major money laundering case connected to a “white-collar” terror module. The probe intensified after raids across multiple Al-Falah properties in Delhi and Faridabad, where officials seized cash, digital devices, and documents pointing to possible fund diversion into companies tied to Siddiqui’s family.

This investigation is linked to the financing behind the November 10 Red Fort car blast, in which former students and university staff have emerged as suspects. Siddiqui — who expanded Al-Falah from its mid-1990s origins into a large educational network — has now been placed in 13-day ED custody as agencies examine alleged fraud, forged accreditations, and suspected terror-funding links. The expanding probe raises a critical question: is this an education-sector scam, or a structured terror financing channel?
