Harjeet Singh, a former aide of self-styled Godman Chhangur Baba, has released a video revealing serious allegations against his former associate. In the video, Harjeet claimed he has gone into hiding after receiving death threats following his testimony against Chhangur Baba in a religious conversion case.
Harjeet had been closely associated with Chhangur for a long time and gave a statement to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on July 3 in Lucknow. He alleged that people warned him he would not survive long.
“Ever since I gave my statement, I have been receiving constant threats,” Harjeet said in the video. “They tell me, ‘You live in Pakistan, among Muslims. You won’t survive for long under this government. Once Baba’s people return to power, you are finished.’”
According to a report by news agency PTI, Harjeet was allegedly attacked near Utraula crossing in Balrampur by three men, namely Riaz, Nawab and Kamaluddin, on July 7 while he was out buying medicines.
In his complaint, Harjeet said the men assaulted him and tried to force him to withdraw his statement. Police have registered a case against the accused and launched an investigation.
Chhangur is alleged to have used fabricated legal cases as a tool to silence critics and suppress dissent. According to the latest findings, individuals who attempted to expose his activities were often targeted through orchestrated false rape allegations, filed via his close associates.
Local law enforcement officers reportedly played a key role in facilitating these cases, with claims that several officials were bribed to remain silent. The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is said to possess a list of complicit officers.
In addition, Chhangur is accused of running a coordinated network involving young Muslim men who posed as Hindus on social media to befriend and lure Hindu girls, a tactic linked to so-called “Love Jihad.”
One individual identified as Badar Siddiqui, a resident of Meerut, has been named as a central figure in this operation, allegedly responsible for targeting multiple girls, some of whom are now missing. Several victims may have been trafficked to Dubai and other Middle Eastern countries.
A survivor named Sonu, who managed to escape, has reportedly come forward with detailed testimony about the inner workings of the group.
The developments come weeks after Chhangur Baba and his associate Neetu alias Nasreen were arrested in Lucknow by the ATS on July 5. They are accused of running a religious conversion racket and have been remanded to ATS custody.
So far, 10 people have been booked, including Chhangur’s son Mehboob and another man named Naveen alias Jamaluddin.
