MUMBAI: The ED investigators on Thursday scanned and seized bank accounts, property documents and digital records at Bandra and Mahim properties of Chhangur Baba's financial associate Shahzad Sheikh in Mumbai.
The operation was a part of a probe into money laundering through shell companies linked to members of an alleged multi-state religious conversion racket headed by spiritual leader Jamaluddin Shah, also known as Chhangur Babas.
The searches in Mumbai follow indications that Chhangur Baba received funds, including donations, from Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Nepal. The illegal transactions involved up to almost Rs 200-300 crore.
