Delhi Police’s Crime Branch has arrested Javad Ahmad Siddiqui, the chairman of Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana. This follows two FIRs filed based on complaints from the University Grants Commission (UGC).
The cases involve serious allegations of irregularities, fraud, forgery, and cheating related to how the private university operates. Specifically, reports point to claims that the university falsely advertised NAAC accreditation and may have issued degrees improperly. Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
The action comes after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) already started looking into the matter earlier. Siddiqui’s name came under scrutiny following the tragic car bomb blast near Delhi’s Red Fort on 10 November 2025. That explosion killed around 13-15 people and injured many more, and investigations linked the suicide bomber — an assistant professor at Al Falah University — to the institution. This put the university in the spotlight for security agencies.
Siddiqui was produced in a Delhi court (some reports mention Saket court), where judges granted the Crime Branch four days of police custody. Officers will question him further to gather more evidence and details.
The university is a well-known private institution, but these allegations — including fake accreditation claims — could have big implications for students and staff.
Police say the probe is ongoing, and more details might emerge soon. This arrest highlights how seriously authorities are taking complaints about higher education standards, especially when tied to broader security concerns.
We’ll keep an eye out for updates as the investigation continues. If you’re following education or security news in India, this one is worth watching.
