Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate provisionally attached 13 immovable properties in Utraula, Balrampur, valued at Rs 13.02 crore and registered to Neetu Naveen Rohra under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
  • The money-laundering probe stems from a Uttar Pradesh ATS FIR alleging a large-scale unlawful religious conversion network funded through suspicious foreign remittances and flagged as a potential national security concern.
  • Investigators allege about Rs 21.08 crore flowed to India via NRE/NRO accounts linked to Navin Rohra after being received through his Dubai-based company United Marine FZE, and was then used to acquire the attached assets.
  • Primary accused Jalaluddin Shah, also known as Chhangur Baba, and co-accused Navin Rohra were arrested by the ED on July 28 and August 4 respectively and remain in judicial custody.
  • Some reports cite sources who estimate the present market value of the attached properties could exceed Rs 50 crore, higher than the provisional attachment figure.
