A special PMLA court in Lucknow granted custody of Naveen Rohra to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as part of a comprehensive money-laundering investigation linked to an illegal religious conversion racket in Uttar Pradesh. Official sources have confirmed Rohra's association with the alleged mastermind, Chhangur Baba.
Previously detained by the Uttar Pradesh ATS, Rohra is implicated in laundering activities and concealing assets under false identities. The ED identified assets attributed to Chhangur Baba but registered in the names of Rohra and his wife. This past month, similar custodial actions were taken against key conspirator Chhangur Baba.
The ATS alleges a wide-reaching conspiracy involving unlawful conversions and misuse of foreign funds, posing a national security risk. Chhangur Baba reportedly facilitated mass gatherings at Chand Auliya Dargah, targeting socioeconomically vulnerable individuals for conversion. Investigations revealed receipt of over Rs 60 crore through 22 bank accounts, including significant international transactions.
