LUCKNOW, July 20 -- The Enforcement Directorate is likely to seize 10 properties worth several crores owned by the alleged kingpin of the Balrampur religious conversion racket, Jalaluddin Shah alias Chhangur Baba (78) and his close associates, senior officials privy to the investigation said. These properties were identified during extensive raids carried out at 13 locations across Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow, Balrampur and two in Mumbai on Thursday, the officials said. They said the ED seized numerous property documents, with plans to officially attach these properties within a month's time after carrying out a proper legal process under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Chhangur Baba's associates Neetu Naveen Rohra alias Nasreen, her husband Naveen Rohra alias Jamaluddin have allegedly acquired several properties using forged documents, including properties on government land. The ED had pasted notices at the raided locations, detailing the seized items and providing a copy to the district administration. The ED's list of seized items - Annexure A - includes 25 points detailing various documents. These documents include declarations and affidavits related to Neetu, Naveen Rohra, and Naveen Ghanshyam Rohra's conversion to Islam. The Lucknow unit of ED registered a case under appropriate sections of PMLA against Chhangur Baba and his associates on July 8 taking cognizance of the UP ATS report for alleged transactions of over Rs 106 crore in 40 bank accounts opened in the names of different people and organisations floated by them. The UP ATS investigation had revealed the transactions of over Rs 106 crore from these bank accounts in the past few years and they suspected foreign funding behind them. It was also found in the investigation that Shehzad Sheikh had sold some land to Chhangur Baba, the officials said, adding that the agency is investigating financial trails linked to the racket, including a substantial Rs 2 crore transfer from an account associated with Naveen to Shehzad Sheikh. Properties worth over 40 crore, including those owned by Chhangur Baba and his associates, have also been identified during the searches. Chhangur Baba and his woman associate Neetu Naveen Rohra alias Nasreen were arrested on July 5. They are accused of orchestrating large-scale religious conversions. The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has been involved in the investigation, revealing a complex network targeting vulnerable individuals, notably Hindu women and minors. Chhangur Baba, while denying the allegations, said, "I am innocent. I don't know anything." His arrest has brought to light a financial trail involving over Rs 500 crore allegedly funnelled from foreign sources into accounts linked to the racket....
