ED Cracks Down on Illegal Conversion Racket in Balrampur, Unearths Foreign Funding Trail

In Balrampur, during the investigation of the illegal conversion case, the ED raided the locations of Changur and his associates, recovering important documents related to foreign funding, bank accounts, and property.

UP: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has achieved a major breakthrough in the case of illegal conversion and foreign funding in Balrampur. The noose is tightening around the gang leader, Changur alias Jalaluddin, and his associates. In the recent raids, the ED has seized several documents that provide concrete evidence of their illegal network and money laundering activities.

Habib Bank AG Zurich Account Found

The documents recovered by the ED from Changur's showroom in Utraula Nagar include information about accounts at Habib Bank AG Zurich. However, the notice does not explicitly state in whose name the account is held or which country's branch it is linked to. This bank operates branches in 11 countries, including Switzerland. The documents also suggest that the funds earned by the gang were obtained through criminal activities.

Important Documents Related to Property Investment Recovered

Changur and his associates had invested illegally acquired money in properties. The ED has found several records detailing the purchase and construction of immovable properties worth crores of rupees. These transactions reveal facts such as fund transfers from the United Marine Account to the account of M/s Krishna International FZE, and the structure of Miss Ashwi Multi Speciality Hospital with the RAK Investment Authority of the Ras Al Khaimah government.

Raids at 15 Locations on July 17

On July 17, the ED conducted raids at 15 locations belonging to Changur and his close associates, including Balrampur. Approximately 25 important documents were seized from Changur's showroom, Baba Tajuddin Ashwi Boutique. These documents revealed the names of several individuals, some of whom are only known to Changur and his associate, Neetu.

Documents of Agreements and Power of Attorney

The ED also recovered documents related to an irrevocable power of attorney between Nasir Wadilal and Changur, vehicle sale agreements, and property transactions with other individuals. These names include Safiullah, Samiullah, Pradeep B. Tiwari, and Rajnarayan R. Singh. All these documents are being examined to uncover the full extent of the gang's conspiracy.

Plan for Multi-Speciality Hospital Also Surfaces

During the search, the ED also discovered that there were plans to build Miss Ashwi Multi Speciality Hospital at Neetu Rohra's mansion in Madhpur. This is confirmed by the test report from Integral University Lucknow, which was found among the documents seized from the showroom.

Tactic of Buying Properties in Others' Names

The investigation has also revealed that Changur has not acquired any immovable property in his own name. He has purchased all the properties in the names of his associates, Naveen Rohra and Neetu Rohra. This clearly indicates that he was trying to conceal his direct involvement to avoid money laundering charges.

The ED team is now meticulously examining all these documents. Agencies are continuously active to expose the entire network of the gang. By connecting the entire chain of transactions, bank accounts, and investments linked to the documents, the direction of action against the gang is being determined.
