Uttar Pradesh: ED’s screws on big raids on many locations including Chungur Baba and forcibly conversion trap

News India Live, Digital Desk: Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted large -scale raids at several important places, intensifying its investigation against a large alleged racket of conversion across the country. The raids spread from Gautam Buddha Nagar and Aligarh to Mumbai in Uttar Pradesh have been in the case of money laundering and luring people through hawala. The focal point of this case is Mohammad Omar Gautam, who is accused of running an organized racket of mass conversion. The ED investigation has revealed a shocking thing: Hasmukh Rao, who was allegedly known as ‘Chungur Baba’, also played an important role in this racket. Investigators believe that Hasmukh Rao, who was once recognized as a Hindu saint, after adopting the religion of Islam also played an active role in conversion by joining the syndicate of Omar Gautam. He is accused of receiving about Rs 50 lakh for conversion activities from the trust of Mohammad Omar Gautam. The zonal agency suspects that the conversion racket was operating from abroad, especially Gulf countries such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Even the wires of this racket have been reportedly found to be associated with some persons and organizations of Pakistan, in which the name of a person named Ghulam Mustafa is being taken prominently. These funds were usually sent to India via hawala routes to avoid the eyes of the authorities. This gang mainly targeted people of weak and economically backward classes. Especially deafening students and poor of rural areas were tempted. He was persuaded to convert to a job, better future, marriage or financial assistance. This move of ED has come after an FIR filed by the Uttar Pradesh Anti -Terrorism Squad (ATS), which were accused of forced conversion and illegal activities. There have been some arrests in the case earlier, including Mohammad Omar Gautam and Qazi Jahangir Alam. The ED had confiscated some of his assets earlier as well, as he believed that these assets were purchased from the money obtained illegally. With this new round raids, investigators are expected to connect with this comprehensive conversion racket and find out the evidence and source of money, so that this entire network can be exposed.
