An organized conversion gang under the leadership of Chhangur Baba alias Jamaluddin has been exposed in Balrampur district of Uttar Pradesh. This gang was engaged in seduction of women and minors or forcibly confessing to Islam. The goal of the gang was to convert on the Indo-Nepal border on a large scale.

In the investigation of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and other central agencies, the racket has found evidence of getting heavy foreign funding from UAE, Turkey, Canada, America, UK and Gulf countries. Five suspected bank accounts have been identified in Chhangur Baba’s UAE. Investigation has revealed that this money was being used for conversion along with mosque, madrasa and tomb construction.

Doubt on the role of IRF and Zakir Naik

In this racket, the involvement of absconding Islamic pracharak Zakir Naik and his organization Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) has also been revealed. According to the report, between 2003 and 2017, IRF received a funding of Rs 64 crore from Gulf countries, which was spent in India for fundamentalist propaganda and purchases of properties.

Simi and PFI’s involvement confirmation

The investigation also revealed that Chhangur Baba’s network was in contact with banned organizations SIMI and Popular Front of India (PFI). Some members of PFI, who were earlier associated with SIMI, were engaged in carrying out money from the Middle East countries and carrying out terrorist activities in India.

The ED recently raided 14 places including Balrampur, Mumbai (Bandra and Mahim). During this period, suspected transactions of Rs 2 crore were detected, which was transferred to Chhangur’s associate Shahzad Sheikh’s account.
