**ED Conducts Raids in Chhangur Baba Religious Conversion Case**
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched a significant operation, conducting searches at 14 locations linked to the Chhangur Baba religious conversion case. The raids, which began early in the morning, targeted 12 sites in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, and two in Mumbai, specifically in the neighborhoods of Bandra and Mahim.
This investigation centers around allegations of a substantial financial transaction, with the ED claiming that approximately Rs 2 crore was transferred from the bank account of Naveen, one of the accused in the conversion racket, to an individual named Shehzad Sheikh. The agency is currently examining both of Sheikh’s residences in Bandra and Rizvi Heights, Mahim. Reports indicate that Shehzad Sheikh was present at his Bandra home during the raids and is being interrogated by ED officials.
Chhangur Baba, also known as Jamaluddin, is a spiritual leader from Balrampur who was arrested earlier this month for allegedly masterminding a large-scale religious conversion scheme. Alongside him, co-accused Neetu, also known as Nasreen, and her husband Naveen have also been taken into custody by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
As the investigation unfolds, the ED’s actions highlight the ongoing scrutiny of religious conversion practices in India and the financial networks that may support them.
