After Converting Friend's Family To Islam, Chhangur Baba Got Their Daughter ‘Engaged To Grandson'
Last Updated: The conversion certificate for Sabiha was issued by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai in November 2015. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has stepped into the case involving Jalaluddin Shah, also known as Chhangur Baba. He is accused of leading a large-scale religious conversion racket across several states. Preliminary findings from the ED point to foreign funding worth around Rs 106 crore. Most of this money reportedly came from countries in the Middle East. The agency has also found illegal assets linked to Chhangur in different parts of India. Now, new information has surfaced. As per Aaj Tak, Chhangur Baba converted his close friend Neetu, also known as Nasreen, along with her husband Naveen Rohra. Their daughter was also converted and renamed Sabiha. The conversion certificate for Sabiha was issued by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) in Dubai. It was issued in November 2015. After Sabiha turned 18, Chhangur got her engaged to his grandson, his daughter's son. However, this marriage plan did not go through. Police arrested Chhangur before the wedding could take place. The engagement was later called off. A close associate of Chhangur, Babbu Khan, revealed more details. He said that Neetu purchased land in Uttaraula, Balrampur, as dowry. A showroom worth nearly Rs 5 crore was also built on the land. The wedding was planned for August this year. At present, Sabiha is staying in Lucknow. She is living with some of Chhangur's family members. Investigating agencies are expected to question her soon. A team may also be sent to visit Neetu and Naveen's ancestral house. Officials could even go to Mumbai for more details. Chhangur Baba hails from Uttaraula in Balrampur district. He has strong connections in the Gonda district too, especially in the Retavagada area of Dhanepur. He was slowly building his network in nearby areas like Wazirganj and Nawabganj. These places are close to Ayodhya, giving the racket a sensitive edge. Now, the ATS is preparing to search Chhangur's bases in Gonda. Many of his close aides are being traced and questioned. More revelations are expected in the coming days. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
