ED is set to file a chargesheet against the Jalaluddin alias Changur gang in a case of illegal conversion and money laundering involving crores. Transactions through a Dubai company have been exposed.
UP News: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is preparing to file a chargesheet this month against Jalaluddin alias Changur and his gang for the serious offenses of illegally converting Hindu girls and money laundering. This case has become a topic of national discussion as it not only involves illegal religious conversion but also exposed money laundering worth crores of rupees. The ED has thoroughly investigated the transactions made by the Changur gang through companies based in Dubai and foreign accounts.
Crores of Rupees Lotted Through a Dubai Company
The investigation has revealed that the Changur gang transferred crores of rupees to India through a company in Dubai. The ED has collected details of their accounts and transactions, providing concrete evidence of money laundering. Active members of the Changur gang, Naveen Vohra alias Jamaluddin, and his wife Neetu alias Nasreen, are also involved in this case. A total of ₹21.08 crore has been recorded as transferred to their NRE (Non-Resident External) and NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) accounts opened in India.
Money Laundering and Asset Seizure
Last month, the ED seized 13 properties located in Utraula, Balrampur. These properties were in the name of Neetu Vohra alias Nasreen, a close associate of Changur, and were valued at approximately ₹13.02 crore. This action was taken under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Furthermore, the ED has also arrested Changur and Naveen, and their evidence collection is underway.
List of Accused and Direction of Investigation
In this case, the ED is preparing to file chargesheet against Changur, his son Mehboob, Naveen Vohra alias Jamaluddin, and Neetu alias Nasreen under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Additionally, the ED is also investigating the benami properties of the Changur gang and the suspicious accounts used for foreign funding. Through these accounts, funds from abroad were channeled to some active members of the gang.
Cases of Illegal Conversion
The ED's investigation has also revealed that the Changur gang conducted illegal conversions of Hindu girls through coercion and inducement. This case is being taken very seriously, and the first chargesheet will be filed in the special court this month. This step is considered significant in curbing the gang's activities and upholding the rule of law in the country.
The investigation has found that foreign funding was utilized through the Dubai-based United Marine Company. These funds were transferred to accounts in India and then distributed to the gang members. The ED had registered a case under money laundering on July 8, and the intensive investigation into this matter has been ongoing since then.
