NIA court frames charges in ₹100cr conversion case

A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Lucknow has formally framed charges against Jalaluddin, alias Chhangur Baba, and his associates, rejecting their discharge plea. The accused face charges including treason, rape, and involvement in a conversion racket allegedly funded by over ₹100 crore from Gulf countries. The prosecution alleges the group used fake Hindu identities and 'love traps' to target women for religious conversion. The case is being prosecuted under India's stringent anti-terror and national security laws.
