Law enforcement agencies have identified a number of property dealers operating in western Uttar Pradesh and the National Capital Region who are suspected to have maintained financial links with Changur or served as intermediaries in transferring properties acquired through illicit means. These dealers are alleged to have facilitated the purchase and registration of land parcels and commercial plots, possibly using false identities or proxy ownership structures, commonly referred to as benami transactions.
Several of these individuals have reportedly come under the scanner for transactions that involve properties currently under dispute or properties with suspicious changes in title ownership over the past few years. Officials privy to the investigation indicated that scrutiny has intensified around land holdings in Meerut, Ghaziabad, and certain peri-urban pockets bordering Delhi, which have experienced high rates of real estate speculation and undocumented ownership transfers.
Investigators suspect that Changur used these property purchases to launder money collected through the network’s operations. The suspicion is that illegal funds may have been parked in undervalued or litigated land assets, subsequently legitimised through rapid resale or transfers under different aliases. Enforcement agencies are combing through land registry records, digital transaction logs, and income tax filings to uncover inconsistencies that could reveal concealed ownership or funding sources.
Initial evidence suggests that at least six individuals who had close financial dealings with Changur may have acted as conduits for converting cash into assets. These persons, reportedly acting under instruction, either purchased land in their own names or in the names of relatives, and then executed unregistered agreements to keep these assets off the official books. Authorities are preparing to summon these individuals for questioning, and a forensic audit of their financial activities is expected to be initiated in the coming days.
Officials involved in the probe have also noted a pattern in the transactions being examined: most of the properties were located near religious sites, highway corridors, or upcoming urban zones, indicating a strategic choice for both value appreciation and relative anonymity. Investigators believe these locations offered a double advantage — low scrutiny and high speculative value, which helped the network both expand and conceal its financial backbone.
The focus on property assets follows multiple arrests connected to the larger case, where individuals allegedly used coercion, manipulation, and false promises to convert young women, often using them for criminal and exploitative purposes. The case has drawn significant attention due to its potential social implications and the use of an intricate web of financial and logistical resources to operate across multiple states.
Authorities are now examining mobile phone data, location records, and digital correspondence recovered from Changur’s associates, which could provide insight into the frequency and nature of their meetings with property agents. Surveillance footage, land brokerage communications, and cash deposit trails are being reconstructed to establish direct links between the accused and questionable property acquisitions.
While Changur remains in custody, police are believed to be compiling a list of individuals who served as brokers or fixers, many of whom operated without formal licenses or under the guise of legitimate real estate consultancies. Officials noted that documentation of these deals was often sparse, relying on private agreements, token cash payments, and verbal assurances, making them difficult to track without whistleblower information or corroborative intelligence.
The broader concern for investigators is whether Changur’s property dealings were part of a wider strategy not just to conceal assets but also to establish safe houses and transit points for operatives engaged in the illegal conversion racket. A number of properties registered under the names of charitable or cultural organisations are now being reviewed for irregularities in ownership patterns and compliance documentation.
