The Enforcement Directorate has taken action by attaching immovable assets worth Rs 13 crore belonging to an individual linked to Chhangur Baba. This action is part of an ongoing investigation into an illegal religious conversion racket. The properties, situated in Utraula, Balrampur district of Uttar Pradesh, are registered under the name of Nitu Navin Rohra. According to the probe agency, she is the wife of Navin Rohra, a close associate of Chhangur Baba. The ED stated that the assets were acquired through money laundering related to the case involving Chhangur Baba and others, who are implicated in a conspiracy involving illegal religious conversions, the use of foreign funding, and actions posing a risk to national security. The ATS had arrested Chhangur Baba, also known as Jalaluddin, for running a conversion racket targeting Hindu women, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds. The ATS investigation found that the network had obtained roughly Rs 500 crore in foreign funding over three years, with around Rs 300 crore being transferred via illegal hawala channels through Nepal. Chhangur Baba, Neetu alias Nasreen, and others are accused of a conspiracy involving unlawful religious conversions, the use of foreign funding, and activities that threaten national security and communal harmony. The UP Police’s Anti-Terrorism Squad had arrested Chhangur Baba and his aide in Lucknow on July 5.
