UP cleric held for ‘running biggest conversion syndicate'

A prominent Meerut cleric, who ran multiple Islamic trusts across north India and used these as a garb to operate the country’s biggest illegal conversion syndicate for 30 years, was arrested by UP Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on Wednesday. The accused, Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui, 62, received mammoth funds from abroad, particularly Gulf nations, through hawala transactions, said ATS sources.
