The Enforcement Directorate is expected to challenge the interim bail granted by a local court to Al Falah University group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui stating he can influence the probe as "more aspects" of the case are still under investigation, officials said.
A court in Delhi granted two-week interim bail to Siddiqui, 61, on Saturday (March 7, 2026) in a money laundering case linked to the alleged generation of illicit funds from the fees paid by students of his Faridabad-based educational institution, by allegedly misrepresenting the accreditation and recognition of his colleges.
He was arrested by the ED in November 2025 and is lodged in jail under judicial custody.

The money laundering case against Siddiqui and the varsity stems from two Delhi Police FIRs pertaining to alleged fraud with the students.
