ED Files PMLA Chargesheet Against Al‑Falah Founder Over Delhi Land Grab

The filing seeks to bar further use of alleged proceeds by attaching the disputed Madanpur Khadar land as investigations continue.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate filed a Prevention of Money Laundering Act chargesheet in the Saket special court on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, naming Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, the Tarbia Education Foundation, Vinod Kumar and Shriom Chauhan.
  • ED says the accused used forged General Powers of Attorney and other fabricated title papers that showed signatures or thumb impressions of owners who had died years earlier to transfer Khasra No. 792 in Madanpur Khadar to the trust.
  • Investigators say the GPAs were back‑dated to January 7, 2004, but were allegedly forged in 2012–13 shortly before a registered sale deed moved the land to the foundation.
  • The agency has quantified proceeds of crime at about Rs 47.76 crore, attached the disputed land valued at roughly Rs 45.84 crore, and earlier made arrests in the case to secure evidence and prevent dissipation of assets.
  • The action follows separate ED scrutiny of Al‑Falah University finances and leaves open further probes to trace other beneficiaries or linked diversion of funds from the institution.
