Girl complaints about being treated badly, shelter home license gets cancelled in UP

DEORIA: On Sunday, the police have arrested a couple and helped 24 girls from a shelter home in Uttar Pradesh. Their license was officially cancelled after an inspection by the CBI.

The husband and his wife were managers at the shelter home. After a girl escaped from the shelter home and informed the police how they were all treated like servants, the police were able to help them.

“When the order to close this institution was made, our people went there and the organisation’s director misbehaved with our team. Today, after a girl escaped from there, we got the reality of that place. There have been many disclosures during the investigation. 24 children have rescued safely,” said Rohan P Kanay, the Superintendent of Police.

Girija Tripathi, the director, and her husband have been arrested. A similar incident happened in Muzaffarpur, where employees of a shelter home were arrested last month for allegedly sexually harassing the girls. Then the police raided the place and rescued nearly 44 girls from there.
