ED Grills Chhangur Baba in Foreign Funding Case
The government is looking into a man named Chhangur Baba, who they think was in charge of changing people's religions and getting money from other countries.
They believe he took money from other countries and used it to buy property.
The government wants to know where the money came from and how it was spent.
They are asking him questions, but he isn't talking much and blaming a woman named Nasreen.
They are checking his bank accounts and looking at his properties.
He is in custody for a few days, and his lawyer is asking the government to check his health because he is old.
ED has taken Chhangur Baba, the alleged mastermind of a religious conversion racket, into custody for five days.
The ED is investigating foreign funding and property acquisitions linked to Baba's network, exceeding ₹63 crore.

Chhangur's lawyer requested regular medical check-ups for his client due to his health.
