A Delhi court on Monday sent Al Falah University founder Javed Ahmed Siddique to 14-day judicial custody in a terror-linked money laundering case. Siddiqui was sent to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody for 13 days on November 19. On Monday, he was produced before Additional Sessions Judge Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan, who sent him to judicial custody till December
15.
During the hearing, the ED counsel argued that presenting Siddiqui before the court was premature because his 13-day custody period would end only at 1 am on Tuesday, meaning Monday was technically the 12th day.
Meanwhile, Siddiqui's counsel submitted an application requesting access to prescribed medicines and his spectacles during custody. The court approved the request.
