Apart from orchestrating the religious conversion of economically weak Hindu families, Chhangur was allegedly planning to establish direct links with the ISI.
In a fresh and explosive revelation, sources have revealed that Jalaluddin alias Chhangur Baba – the self-styled godman at the centre of a multi-state religious conversion racket – had travelled to Kathmandu in a bid to strengthen ties with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). This alleged move goes beyond the ongoing illegal religious conversion case in which Baba is already facing serious charges.
Apart from orchestrating the religious conversion of economically weak Hindu families, Chhangur was allegedly planning to establish direct links with the ISI. According to sources, he wanted Hindu women – who had been converted to Islam – to be married off to ISI agents and sleeper cell operatives in Nepal.
Security agencies arrested Chhangur Baba and his two close associates – Neetu and Naveen – just in time, thereby averting what officials described as a potential national security disaster.
A recent meeting of ISI agents was reportedly held at the Pakistani Embassy in Kathmandu. A delegation from Pakistan’s National Defence University also participated in the event, which was attended by ISI officials. The Pakistani delegation even visited the India-Nepal border region.
Sources said Chhangur was seeking to establish contact with the Pakistani Embassy through a religious leader based in Nepal, but due to security restrictions, he was unable to enter the premises.
Investigators further revealed that Chhangur was trying to establish a base in Barhni, located in Uttar Pradesh. His next plan reportedly involved bringing in batches of Rohingya refugees, falsely presenting them as Hindus, and then converting them to Islam.
The religious conversion network allegedly spread across multiple Indian states, including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, West Bengal, and various districts of Uttar Pradesh. Balrampur’s Utraula region was reportedly chosen as the central hub for these operations due to its proximity to the Nepal border.
Chhangur is also said to have had connections with international Islamic organisations, including the Islamic Development Bank (Saudi Arabia), the Muslim World League, Dawat-e-Islami, and the Islamic Union of Nepal.
AIDE TURNS WHISTLEBLOWER?
In what is being described as the biggest revelation in the case so far, Mohammad Ahmed Khan, believed to be Chhangur Baba’s close aide and financial associate, has come forward with startling claims.
Speaking to Aaj Tak, India Today’s sister website, Khan said, “I myself was troubled by Chhangur Baba He forcibly grabbed land worth crores that was in my name. I was his partner in financial dealings worth hundreds of crores.”
Khan further alleged that Chhangur Baba operated a syndicate involving land grabbing, illegal funding, and threats, run through a group known as the Rabbani Gang.
“The Rabbani gang worked directly under Baba’s instructions. They occupied land, prepared fake documents, and threatened people. The gang also had links with the late gangster Mukhtar Ansari’s henchmen,” Khan claimed, adding that he possesses photographic evidence of these connections.
He also revealed that just before Baba’s arrest, a member of the Rabbani gang managed to join the Uttar Pradesh Raksha Parishad (UP Defence Council), fuelling concerns about the gang’s influence within administrative circles.
Khan said he met Changur Baba in 2023 and had no association with him before that.
“He tried to frame me in a property case, and I had to take him to court. Even after his arrest, his gang members are still active and capable of executing large-scale plans,” he said.
