The Central Bureau of Investigation CBI has taken over investigation into the alleged abuse of minor girls at a shelter home in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district.
The case relates to mental, physical and sexual exploitation of girls residing at Balika Grih, Muzaffarpur. The CBI has booked officers and employees of the shelter home.
Bihar government had on Thursday handed over the investigation into the alleged sexual assault to the CBI.
The matter had come to light earlier this year when the Bihar Social Welfare Department filed an FIR based on a social audit of the shelter home conducted by a Mumbai-based institute.
The audit report stated that many girls at the shelter home had complained of sexual abuse. A special investigation team was formed to probe the complaints.
