Lucknow,

11 July (HS): A major conversion scheme

has been revealed, indicating a foreign financing link to Changu Baba. According to investigations, Changu Baba got

around Rs 500 crores in foreign finance, with Rs 200 crores verified and the

rest Rs 300 crores reportedly transferred through Nepal. Over 100 bank accounts were created in

Nepal's border areas, including Kathmandu, Nawalparasi, Rupandehi, and Banki,

to receive funds from Muslim nations.

These

accounts received payments from Muslim-majority nations such as Pakistan,

Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Agents

in Nepal helped transfer this money to Chhangur, who is originally from Madhpur

in Uttar Pradesh's Balrampur district, for a 4-5% charge. In many situations, money was placed using

Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs).

Funds were carried into Indian regions such as

Balrampur, Shravasti, Bahraich, and Lakhimpur, where local money changers

exchanged Nepali cash for Indian rupees.

Authorities discovered that agents from Bihar

districts like Madhubani, Sitamarhi, Purnia, Kishanganj, Champaran, and Supaul

were also involved in smuggling monies from Nepal. Ayodhya district received the most financing,

and it is reported that Hindu females were converted to other religions. Authorities have begun to investigate 40 bank

accounts related to Chhangur and his associates.

Changu

Baba, also known as Jamaluddin, and his companion Nitru alias Nasreen have been

detained and interrogated by the UPATS. The

Anti-Terror Squad also demanded 10 years of income tax returns. Investigators identified Rs 34.22 crore in

six Naveen Rohra accounts, as well as Rs 13.90 crore in Nasreen's

accounts. The investigators also stated

that they are still investigating into Chhangur's alleged overseas bank

accounts in Sharjah, Dubai, and the UAE. Furthermore, Chhangur's Rs 5 crore property in

Balrampur was entirely dismantled. It

was built illegally on public land. The

40-room house, which had a marble security gate, was demolished in three days

by 10 bulldozers. Authorities have demolished a Jamaluddin-built villa on gram

panchayat land that was reportedly utilized as a hideaway for individuals

involved in the conversion business.
