ED investigates up religious conversion 'Racket'
Uttar Pradesh's ATS has arrested Jalaluddin, also known as Chhangur Baba, for allegedly running a massive illegal religious conversion racket from Chand Auliya Dargah in Balrampur.
Authorities say he targeted vulnerable people—like women, laborers, and widows—using promises of money, marriage, and a better life to push them into converting to Islam.
The operation reportedly had links abroad, particularly in the Middle East.

Several people connected to the racket have been arrested.
Investigators uncovered over ₹106 crore moved through 40 bank accounts tied to Chhangur Baba and identified properties worth more than ₹300 crore—including luxury cars and real estate.
The Enforcement Directorate is now tracking the money trail under anti-money laundering laws.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called these acts "anti-social and anti-national," promising strict action against everyone involved.
