On Sunday, an orphanage in Agra was sealed and the management was booked, citing irregularities, days after an inmate alleged that she was raped by three men inside the premises.
The Chief Development Officer (CDO) J Reebha said that the sealing was done at 7 pm and a case is registered against the management of the orphanage. She said that 28 boys in the orphanage had been moved to a shelter home in Shahganj while three of 10 girls were shifted to ‘Aasha Jyoti Kendra”. The younger girls have been moved to the Shahganj children’s shelter home.
On October 3, a 16-year-old inmate had jumped off from the terrace into the Yamuna. However, she was rescued by the locals. The girl had alleged that she was gang-raped inside the orphanage. A case was registered at the Itimad-ud-Daula police station and the three accused were arrested and sent to jail.
Inspection of the orphanage was done by the Vice-Chairperson of the State Women’s Commission, Sushma Singh. Empty beer bottles were found on the premises and used condoms were found in the orphanage toilet.
