The court is yet to take cognisance of the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The accused named in the chargesheet are Al Falah Group chairman Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui (61) and the Al Falah Charitable Trust, which controls the university. The case has been registered under various provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).<\/p>\n<p>In an official statement, the ED said it has provisionally attached the university\u2019s land and building, worth approximately \u20b9140 crore, located in the Dhauj area of Faridabad.<\/p>\n<h3>Doctors Appointed Without Verification<\/h3>\n<p>According to the chargesheet, three doctors \u2014 Dr Muzammil Ganaie, Dr Shaheen Saeed, and Dr Umar Nabi \u2014 were appointed during the tenure of the current Vice-Chancellor and Principal without any police verification.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr Umar Nabi, an assistant professor in the general medicine department since May 2024, was the alleged suicide bomber who died in the November 10, 2025, blast near the Red Fort area.<\/li>\n<li>Dr Muzammil Ganaie, a junior resident since October 2021, and Dr Shaheen Saeed, an associate professor in pharmacology since October 2021, were later arrested by the NIA. All are currently in judicial custody.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Registrar of the University told the ED that these doctors were hired \u201cwithout\u201d any police verification. The Vice-Chancellor stated that their appointments were recommended by the HR head and approved by Siddiqui, following which formal appointment letters were issued.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018On Paper\u2019 Doctors to Mislead Regulators<\/h3>\n<p>The ED has alleged that the medical college employed several doctors merely \u201con paper\u201d under arrangements such as \u201c22 days punch\u201d or \u201ctwo days per week\u201d to falsely project adequate faculty strength before the National Medical Commission (NMC).<\/p>\n<p>According to the agency, many of these doctors neither attended the college regularly nor treated patients, and were shown as staff only to obtain regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n<p>The chargesheet claims that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cOn paper\u201d doctors were knowingly part of the arrangement.<\/li>\n<li>Some were issued fake work experience certificates.<\/li>\n<li>Several were paid significantly lower salaries than others of the same designation.<\/li>\n<li>Some consultants\u2019 remuneration was linked to ICU occupancy levels, irrespective of clinical necessity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Fake Patients, Non-Functional Hospital<\/h3>\n<p>Chats and records appended to the chargesheet reportedly show that the hospital was virtually non-functional less than three weeks before an NMC inspection, with no patients, staff, or doctors present. The ED claims that \u201cfake\u201d patients were admitted just before the inspection to create a false impression of operations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the NMC granted permission in June 2025 to increase MBBS seats from 150 to 200, which the ED alleges was obtained through continued misrepresentation.<\/p>\n<h3>\u20b9493 Crore Proceeds of Crime Alleged<\/h3>\n<p>The ED has estimated the proceeds of crime at \u20b9493.24 crore, allegedly generated from tuition and examination fees by deceiving students using false claims of NAAC accreditation and UGC recognition.<\/p>\n<p>The agency said Siddiqui played a \u201ccentral, dominant and controlling role\u201d in the entire operation. Siddiqui, however, has denied having any connection with any terrorist or banned organisation.<\/p>\n<h3>More Action Likely<\/h3>\n<p>The ED has recorded statements of several senior executives and faculty members under Section 50 of the PMLA, which are admissible in court. The agency is expected to file a supplementary chargesheet, as the current probe has examined the university\u2019s finances only up to March 2025 and the alleged proceeds of crime may increase further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has found that Faridabad-based Al Falah University appointed at least three doctors linked to terrorism \u2014 including two arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and one alleged suicide bomber involved in the November 2025 Red Fort area blast \u2014 without any police verification or security scrutiny.
