In a shocking development, the Madhya Pradesh Police have arrested Hamood Ahmad Siddiqui, the younger brother of a prominent university chancellor, in connection with three fraud cases totaling 40 lakh rupees. This arrest has not only shed light on a financial scam but has also brought the prestigious Al Falah University under intense scrutiny.
Mr. Hamood, a resident of Hyderabad, was apprehended by a dedicated police team from the Gachibowli area, bringing an end to his over 20-year-long absence from Mhow, his hometown. The 50-year-old's past is riddled with legal troubles, including charges of rioting and attempted murder in 1988, for which he had jumped bail, leading to a permanent warrant.
The fraud cases against Mr. Hamood date back to the mid-1990s when he operated Al Fahad Fin Com Limited, a financial company in Mhow. Along with his wife and another individual, he promised investors a 20% return on their money but allegedly scammed them out of a substantial amount. This led to multiple complaints and the current cases against him.
The arrest has also indirectly implicated the Al Falah University, which is already under the scanner due to its alleged false accreditation claims. The university's chancellor, Javed Ahmad Siddiqui, has been summoned by the Delhi Police, who have registered cases of cheating and forgery against the institution. The university's reputation is further tarnished as the Association of Indian Universities has suspended its membership, and the Union government has ordered a forensic audit of its records.
As the investigation unfolds, the public awaits the full exposure of this intricate web of fraud and deceit, which has already led to significant actions against the university and its leadership.
