A prominent Pakistani-American businessman who spent years cozying up to powerful Democrats stands accused of being part of a $38 million Medicaid scam.
Civic leader and well-known Brooklyn Community Board 13 member Pervez Siddiqui, 78, was arrested Monday along with seven co-conspirators.
They are alleged to have run a large-scale Medicaid kickback and false-billing scheme through two social adult day care (SADC) centers in Brooklyn: APNA Adult Daycare and Ashiana Social Adult Daycare.
The scam ran from 2019 through December 2025, feds allege, with seniors being signed up for day cares that they rarely or never attended, then getting a cut of the Medicaid payment.
“Marketers are going around looking for the Medicaid card. They stop people on the street, at bus stops. They go into doctors’ offices. They go into NYCHA [government housing] where they know people are low-income. They ask, ‘Do you have a Medicaid card?’” a source with knowledge of the investigation told The Post.
Siddiqui, who owns around 15 pharmacies in New Jersey, is prolific in local political circles and a regular donor to Democratic campaigns, sometimes shelling out over $10,000 a pop to local candidates, records show. And through his ties to another group, he scored an intimate sit-down with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in December 2025, pictures obtained by The Post show.

Oh boy they’re in trouble now just like those “learing center” scammers that I haven’t heard one peep about or the endless social security scammers claiming they are 150 years old not one peep about.
“Does anyone think Mandami doesn’t have his hands in one of the fraud schemes”?
Seems like NYers all don’t think that but I hope I’m wrong on that one.
Isn’t there any oversight at all with these federal programs?
No inspectors? No surprise visits?
I guess not.
If not for Nick Shirly and David Hoch they would have gotten away with it.
Seems like there ought to be a federal investigatory agency whose job it would be to investigate criminal activity.
Too bad we don’t have one.
Pakistanis & Somalis…. the scummiest of the scummiest.
Pakiscammy and So-mal-me’s
