‘Rs 16L For Brahmins, Rs 12 For…': Links Till Dubai, UP Man ‘Converts Thousands'

People are now curious to know more about who Jamaluddin, aka, Changur Baba really is and how he managed to carry out such activities.
Jamaluddin, better known as Changur Baba, was recently arrested in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, on charges related to religious conversion. Since his arrest, more details about his illegal activities have come to light, including an alleged fraud worth crores, which has left everyone shocked. Authorities say he used the image of a saint to hide his illegal plans and trick people. Following the expose, people are now curious to know more about who Changur Baba really is and how he managed to carry out such activities.
Who Is Changur Baba?
The Baba, who once sold rings on the streets, suddenly started owning properties worth crores. He used to attract people, mostly from poor and backward areas, by promising to provide money, help and even miracle cures. He is also accused of forcing Hindu girls to convert to Islam and allegedly has connections not just in different parts of Uttar Pradesh, but also near the Nepal border and Dubai.
Reportedly, police have found documents, videos and records of large money transfers linked to his work. His main targets were people struggling with poverty and he offered them fake dreams of a better life.
As per The Times of India, an Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) officer said, 'Investigations revealed that for the past 3-4 years, Jamaluddin and his family had been residing near Chand Auliya Dargah and portrayed himself as Sufi saint Hazrat Baba Jamaluddin 'Peer Baba'. He also published a book 'Shijra-e-Tayyaba' to propagate Islam."
'In one of the cases, a woman from Lucknow was allegedly lured into a relationship by a Muslim man who used a Hindu identity. She was coerced by Neetu and others to convert. Jamaluddin ran a gang and had a fixed incentive structure for conversions. Rs 15-16 lakh was fixed for conversions of Brahmin, Sikh or Kshatriya women, Rs 10-12 lakh for OBCs, and Rs 8-10 lakh for other castes," the officer added.
Along with Chhangur Baba, the police have also taken a couple named Naveen and Neetu Rohra from Mumbai into custody. After converting, they changed their names to Kalimuddin and Nasreen. Reports say they helped set up a hospital in Utraula, which may have been used as part of their conversion plan. Their daughter was also converted and renamed Sabiha.
Police are now focused on finding others involved and tracing the money behind the operation. The case has raised serious questions about how Chhangur Baba managed to mislead so many people.

Iran executes 2 opposition members over alleged attacks on civilian sites

Iran said Sunday it has executed two members of the exiled opposition group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq after convicting them of carrying out attacks on public and civilian infrastructure. Iranian courts charged the two men with several offenses, including waging war against the state.(Representational Photo) The judiciary's official news website, Mizan Online, reported that Behrouz Ehsani Eslamlou and Mehdi Hasani were hanged on Sunday morning after being found guilty of using improvised mortar launchers to target residential areas, educational institutions and government buildings. In January, rights group Amnesty International had issued an appeal for Eslamlou and Hasani, saying the two had been interrogated without the presence of lawyers and had been subjected "to torture and other ill-treatment, including beatings and prolonged solitary confinement, to extract self-incriminating statements.' The Mojahedin Organization of Iran, also known as the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, issued a statement decrying the executions and said both men had been 'subjected to savage torture.' Calling for international condemnation of the executions, the group said another 14 people have been sentenced to death in Iran for alleged membership in the organization 'and are at imminent risk of execution.' Iranian courts charged the two men with several offenses, including waging war against the state, conspiracy, sabotage and membership in a terrorist organization. Prosecutors accused them of plotting to destabilize national security and damage public property. The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, once a Marxist-Islamist group that opposed Iran's monarchy, backed the 1979 Islamic Revolution but later broke with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's government. It carried out a series of deadly bombings and assassinations in the 1980s and supported Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war — stances that still provoke widespread resentment within Iran. The group is now largely based in Albania but claims to operate a clandestine network inside Iran. The last known execution of Mujahedeen-e-Khalq members took place in 2009, following their conviction in connection with an attempted bombing in Tehran's central Enghelab Square.

3 killed as gunmen fire at protesters in Pakistans Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province

Peshawar, Jul 27 (PTI) Unknown gunmen fired at a gathering protesting against counter-terrorism operations in Pakistan's northwestern province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday, leaving three dead and many injured, a top official said. A day earlier, a mortar strike claimed the life of a girl in the Zakha Khel area of the Khyber District, sparking the Sunday demonstration, during which locals placed the girl's body in front of the Momand Ghuz security checkpoint. Suhail Afridi, the special assistant to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, said three people died and eight were injured in the firing by terrorists on the demonstrators in the Tirah Valley. Following the incident, the grieving families and residents of the area staged a protest by blocking the Tank-South Waziristan Road, and demanded immediate identification and action against those responsible for the killings. Afridi said, 'Following the girl's death on Saturday, locals staged a protest in front of the Frontier Corps compound today. They had gathered near he gates when shots were fired." 'I spoke to district officials who told me that terrorists belonging to Fitna-al-Khawarij fired at the protesters," he said, using the term designating members of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province expressed deep sorrow and regret over the Tirah incident. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government announced compensation of Rs 10 million for the kin of each deceased and Rs 2.5 million for each injured individual.

Muslim hawker assaulted in Meerut; attempt to create fear, says opposition

After a Muslim cloth peddler was brutally assaulted at Fatehpur Narayan village, under Kithor police station limits, in Meerut district, opposition parties alleged on Sunday that the incident was a targeted attack designed to create fear. While villagers and police claimed Arif was mistaken for a thief, the victim's wife alleged that they were being forced to modify the complaint by the police. 'We have submitted a petition; the case is yet to be registered. My husband, who was selling clothes, was beaten, and now we are being pressured to change the petition by the Sub-Inspector,' said Tausima, the victim's wife, in a viral video. The Hindu reached out to the Meerut police, including the Circle Officer, but failed to get any response. Mob attack The incident happened on July 26. The victim, along with one companion, was selling clothes in the village when 10-15 people gathered and began calling him a thief, demanded his Aadhar card, and proceeded to beat him up. He was taken to Meerut Medical College for treatment. 'This incident shows that there is a complete breakdown of law and order in the state. No one has the right to take the law into their hands; some people emboldened by the dispensation are attempting to create a Jangal Raj kind of situation in U.P.; it is a lynching attempt that aims to create fear,' said Imran Masood, Lok Sabha MP and a senior Congress leader. Lok Sabha MP from Ghazipur, Afzal Ansari, said, 'I condemn this incident, it is clear that the accused have no fear of the administration and rule of law. They know no proper action will be taken, and this encourages them to attack poor Muslims.'
