Delhi Court Sends Al-Falah's Siddiqui to 14-Day Custody Over Rs 45 Crore Land Fraud Case

A Delhi court on Saturday remanded Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, chairman of the Al-Falah Group, to 14 days of judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case linked to the alleged fraudulent acquisition of land worth ₹45 crore. The case is being investigated under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Siddiqui was produced before Additional Sessions Judge Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan after completing 10 days of custody with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which began on March 25. The court ordered that he remain in judicial custody until April 17 as the investigation progresses.

Officials said Siddiqui was arrested in this second PMLA case on March 24 while he was already lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with an earlier case involving both the ED and Delhi Police. The fresh arrest is part of an ongoing probe into alleged financial irregularities and property-related fraud in the national capital.
