New scandals suggest massive collusion in Bihars shelter homes. Will Nitish act?
The Muzaffarpur government shelter home case where 34 destitute girls were abused and raped for months sent shockwaves across Bihar. The res ultant backlash which led to a review of the 110 shelter homes sponsored by the state social welfare department has now exposed how deep the rot runs.
Cases of sexual abuse against inmates have surfaced in Motihari and Kaimur and now young boys from shelters in Bhagalpur, Gaya, Araria and Munger have complained of physical violence. Meanwhile, 19 new FIRs have been registered against various shelter homes, a district programme officer in Vaishali has been arrested for sexually abusing shelter home inmates there, and former social welfare minister Parveen Amanullah has blamed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for tolerating the irregularities perpetrated by NGOs in cahoots with bureaucrats.
In a separate development, Gaya police arrested a Buddhist monk, Bhante Sanghpriya, for sexually abusing 32 minor children who lived at his meditation centre. Bhante’s NGO is registered with the state government as a trust, opening a new can of worms over the shady characters entrusted with the responsibility of vulnerable women and children by the state.
