New Delhi, March 8 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 that he can influence the investigation 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 in a money laundering case linked to alleged illicit funds generated from fees paid by students of his Faridabad-based educational institution, allegedly by misrepresenting the accreditation and recognition of his colleges.
He was arrested by the ED in November 2025 and is currently 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.
Siddiqui had applied for the interim bail in order to support and take care of his wife, who is suffering from stage 4 cancer and is scheduled to undergo a chemotherapy session on March 12.
