A Delhi court has taken cognisance of charges against Jawad Ahmed Siddique, chairman of the Al Falah Group, in connection with the Red Fort blast case. The court found prima facie evidence of cheating and forgery related to false accreditation claims made by Al Falah University. Chief Judicial Magistrate Tapasya Agarwal noted that the university allegedly misled students by falsely claiming recognition from the University Grants Commission (UGC) and displaying a fake National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) status on its website. Investigators revealed that the university continued to advertise its recognition even after it had lapsed, influencing nearly 1,400 students to enroll based on these misleading claims. The court has set the next hearing for May 8 to examine the documents related to the case. Additionally, Siddique faces investigations in two money laundering cases involving the use of forged documents to secure educational programs and an illegal land acquisition valued at ₹45 crore (approximately $5.4 million USD).
