Authorities on Tuesday demolished the sprawling residence of self-styled faith healer Jalaluddin, popularly known as Changur Baba, in Utraula, Balrampur district, Uttar Pradesh. The mansion, reportedly constructed illegally on government land, was brought down as part of a crackdown following Baba’s arrest on charges of running a large-scale religious conversion racket and accumulating crores of rupees through foreign funding. Alongside the mansion stood a hospital, allegedly established by Baba’s followers, which was also under scrutiny for its role in the controversial operations.
