The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is tightening its grip on Jalaluddin alias Changur, arrested in the illegal conversion case. Several shocking details have emerged from the ongoing interrogation during his five-day ED custody. On Tuesday, when ED officials questioned Changur about foreign funding, property, and Dubai trips, he tried to give evasive answers or remained silent. During the interrogation, he repeatedly mentioned his associate Neetu alias Nasreen, placing all the responsibility on her.
Changur's Silence on Questions Related to Property and Funding
According to sources, when ED officials presented Changur with documents related to his properties, he tried to evade responsibility by saying that he had no knowledge of them. Changur claimed that Neetu managed all the financial affairs. Regarding questions related to foreign funding and hawala transactions, he said that the money came directly into Neetu's bank account, and he did not know about the source of the funds. The ED is now conducting a thorough investigation into Neetu's role to verify this claim.
Citing Relatives Regarding Dubai Trips
When the ED questioned him about his Dubai trips and showed him information about the 19 trips recorded in his passport, Changur mentioned relatives in his defense. He said that he used to go to Dubai for social work and to meet relatives. He also admitted his association with court employee Rajesh Upadhyay, stating that he runs organizations to help the poor and receives financial assistance from many people for this purpose. However, during the interrogation, Changur repeatedly said that lawsuits were filed against him as part of a conspiracy.
Neetu's Troubles Increase
After Neetu's name was repeatedly mentioned in the entire case, the ED has now intensified its investigation into her role. The agency may take Neetu alias Nasreen into custody for questioning in the coming days to find out the source of funding under the Money Laundering Act. The ED's focus is now on where the foreign money came from, who sent it, and for what purpose it was used.
This case is no longer limited to Changur, but is moving towards an investigation of the entire network. Further disclosures may emerge from the agency's next action.
