Balrampur (The Uttam Hindu): Big revelations are being made in the layer-by-layer investigation of the cases related to Changur alias Jalaluddin, Neetu and Naveen, who were arrested on charges of illegal conversion and foreign funding. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has got many shocking documents in the recent raid, which confirm the dark deeds of this gang.
ED has found transaction documents related to an account of Habib Bank AG Zurich from the showroom of Changur located in Uttaraula Nagar. However, it has not been made clear in whose name this account is and which country's branch it belongs to. It is known that Habib Bank AG Zurich has branches in 11 countries including Switzerland.
The ED has found several evidences that indicate that the money with the gang is the proceeds of crime. The investigation has also revealed that money has been transferred for the purchase and sale of immovable properties and construction activities worth crores of rupees.
25 important documents seized
On July 17, ED raided 15 locations of Changur and his associates. About 25 important documents were recovered from a showroom named 'Baba Tajuddin Ashwi Boutique' located in Subhash Nagar. Only Changur or his close associate Neetu has complete information about the persons whose names are mentioned in many of these documents.
Suspicious transactions and agreements exposed
The documents recovered during the investigation include agreements between Nasir Vadilal and Chhangur, irrevocable powers of attorney, contracts with various individuals such as Safiullah, Samiullah, Pradeep B. Tiwari and Rajnarayan R. Singh, and records related to vehicle sales.
Apart from this, documents of transactions from 'United Marine' account to 'M/s Krishna International FZE' account have also been found. A document related to 'RAK Investment Authority' of 'Ras Al Khaimah' government also contains the test report of Integral University, Lucknow regarding the structure of 'Miss Ashvi Multi Specialty Hospital, Balrampur'.
Properties taken in the name of others
The investigation has also revealed that Chhangur did not take the immovable properties directly in his name to hide his involvement in money laundering. These properties were bought in the name of his associates Naveen Rohra and Neetu Rohra, so that legal action could be avoided.
There was a plan to build a hospital
. There was a plan to build 'Miss Ashvi Multi Specialty Hospital' in the same premises where the part of Neetu's house in Madhpur was demolished. The test report of Integral University received by ED confirms this.
ED is currently investigating all the documents in depth and is trying to reach the entire network of Changur gang.
