Preparation to demolish illegal properties of Jalaluddin alias Changur, the kingpin of the conversion gang. NIA, ATS, and ED have intensified investigations into foreign funding and mafia connections.
UP: The noose is tightening around Jalaluddin alias Changur, the mastermind of the forced conversion racket in Uttar Pradesh. The police and investigating agencies have intensified preparations to take action against his illegal properties. It has also been revealed that this gang has connections with the mafia, Mukhtar Ansari.
Bulldozers to be used on the gang's properties
ADG (Law and Order) Amitabh Yash has clarified that the illegal properties of Changur and his gang will be seized under the Gangster Act. Furthermore, those properties built with illegal foreign funding will be demolished by bulldozers.
Revelation of connection with Mukhtar Ansari
On Thursday, Mohammad Ahmed Khan, a member of the gang, appeared before the media in Pune and claimed that Changur also had a connection with the mafia, Mukhtar Ansari. This information is making the case even more serious. Ahmed Khan said that Changur had contacted him to buy land in Maharashtra, but later it was used for illegal activities.
Changur's son, Mehboob, is already in jail. In addition, the FIR also names his nephew Sabroz, son of his brother-in-law Shahabuddin, relative Ramzan from Gonda, and Rasheed from Balrampur. Investigations are underway into the properties of all of them.
Suspicious role of Neetu and Naveen
The ATS has taken Jalaluddin alias Changur and his close aide Neetu alias Nasreen on a seven-day remand. During the interrogation, questions were asked about the Dubai trips of Neetu and her husband, Naveen Rohra alias Jamaluddin. It is reported that Neetu's father runs a large scrap business in Dubai. Furthermore, Neetu and Naveen met Changur in Mumbai, and this is where their involvement in the gang began.
Funding from Dubai and the depth of the syndicate
The interrogation also revealed that through funding from Dubai, the gang committed serious crimes like conversions and illegal property investments in India. Neetu and Changur will soon be interrogated face-to-face to understand the depth of the network.
The conspiracy behind foreign funding
A joint investigation by the ED and ATS has so far revealed that approximately 106 crore rupees have been sent from Gulf countries to 40 bank accounts. This money was used for conversions, land purchases, and network expansion. The police are also looking for the lawyers and property dealers who provided legal and investment assistance to the gang.
Agencies are scrutinizing property data
Details of the gang's properties have been sought from the sub-registrar offices of Uttar Pradesh. Tax returns for the last 10 years have been requested from the Income Tax Department. Bank details and other documents have also been sought from the DM and SP of Balrampur.
Ahmed Khan's counter-attack
Speaking to the media, Mohammad Ahmed Khan said that he had no hand in Changur's illegal activities. He stated that he was only involved in the purchase of land, but after a dispute, Changur also filed a case against him. Agencies are now investigating the lawyers involved in the land deals.
The government and agencies have now become completely strict against the Changur gang. Whether it's money from abroad, illegal land, or mafia connections, every aspect is being investigated thoroughly.
