In the aftermath of the Red Fort blast investigation, authorities in Madhya Pradesh’s Mhow have issued a demolition notice to a property linked to the family of Al Falah Group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, citing long-pending unauthorised construction violations.

The Mhow Cantonment Board served the notice to the occupants and legal heirs of a residential house associated with Siddiqui’s late father, Moulana Hammad. The order directs that the disputed construction be removed within three days, failing which the board will step in and recover the costs from the family as per the Cantonments Act.

Cantonment Engineer H. S. Kaloya confirmed the development, stating that the property had been under scrutiny for decades. “We had issued multiple notices in 1996 and 1997 under the Cantonments Act, 1924, directing the removal of unauthorised construction,” he said. “Despite repeated directives, the structure was not demolished, which led us to issue a fresh notice.”

The disputed property, listed as House No. 1371 on Survey No. 245/1245 in Mhow’s Mukeri Mohalla, has drawn attention amid the widening probe into the November 10 blast near Delhi’s Red Fort that claimed 15 lives. Faridabad-based Al Falah University, operated by the Al Falah Group, has emerged as a key focus of investigators, as several suspects are believed to have past or current links to the institution.

Adding to the developments, Madhya Pradesh Police recently arrested Hamood Ahmed Siddiqui, brother of Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, from Hyderabad in connection with an alleged large-scale financial fraud committed in Mhow nearly 25 years ago. According to officials, Hamood had been wanted in the case for decades.

Investigators also revealed that Dr. Umar Un Nabi, the prime accused in the Red Fort blast case, previously studied at Al Falah University. Since then, scrutiny has intensified around the university’s records, financial trail, and administrative procedures to determine possible links between the suspects and the institution.
