A major revelation has emerged regarding Jalaluddin alias Changur Baba, who was arrested on charges of illegal conversions and anti-national activities. Exclusive information acquired by Aaj Tak/India Today indicates that Changur Baba had multiple foreign bank accounts. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has so far identified 5 such accounts that were instrumental in facilitating transactions for Changur Baba and his network abroad.
This exposure points to an international nexus led by Changur Baba, which was securing foreign funding for conversions and other dubious activities in India. It is known that Changur Baba opened a bank account with Axis Bank in Sharjah.
Moreover, he maintained another account with Axis Bank in Dubai. Additionally, it has come to light that he had accounts with HDFC Bank, Emirates NBD Bank, and Federal Bank (Vostro account) in the UAE. These five bank accounts are now on the radar of investigative agencies.

The ED (Enforcement Directorate) is digging deep into the transaction details associated with these accounts. ED teams are focused on uncovering how much money was deposited, the frequency of transactions, and the destinations to which funds were transferred. This investigation will eventually shed light on the extent and avenues of foreign funding aiding the conversion network in India.
Sources suggest that the disclosure of these bank accounts confirms the presence of active agents supporting Changur Baba's international operations. These agents, stationed overseas, facilitated the depositing of funds into Baba's accounts, which were then used within India.
