Money Laundering Complaint Filed Over Alleged Forged GPA Documents

The Enforcement Directorate has filed a prosecution complaint under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 against Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui and two others in connection with an alleged land fraud case in Delhi.

Apart from Siddiqui, the complaint names Vinod Kumar, Shriom Chauhan, and the Tarbia Education Foundation. The case relates to the alleged fraudulent acquisition of land bearing Khasra No. 792 located in Madanpur Khadar village in Delhi.

According to the ED, the accused allegedly used forged and fabricated documents, including General Powers of Attorney (GPAs) and title-related records, to facilitate the transfer of the disputed land to Tarbia Education Foundation.

Investigators claimed that the GPAs used in the transaction were dated January 7, 2004. However, multiple original landowners connected to the property had reportedly died decades before the stated execution date of the documents, raising serious suspicions regarding the authenticity of the paperwork.

The agency alleged that the forged documentation was used to illegally secure ownership and transfer rights over the land. Officials believe the transactions formed part of proceeds of crime under the money laundering law.

The prosecution complaint has been filed before the designated PMLA court, and further proceedings in the matter are expected in the coming weeks. The case adds to a growing list of investigations involving alleged misuse of forged property documents and illegal land transfers in the national capital region.
