BIHAR HOME CASE ORDER LIKELY TODAY

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court will likely pronounce its judgement on Thursday in an alleged case of sexual and physical assault on several girls at a shelter home in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Kulshrestha on September 30 reserved its order after the conclusion of arguments against prime accused Brajesh Thakur and others. Over 40 minor girls were allegedly sexually assaulted in the shelter home which was run by Thakur’s statefunded non-governmental organization (NGO). Thakur is the purported mastermind. The incident came to light after the Tata Institute of Social Sciences filed an affidavit detailing sexual abuse cases at the shelter homes in 2017.
