Bihar abuse: Forensic experts to visit spot

Over 30 girls were allegedly raped at the shelter home, run by Thakur, chief of the state-funded NGO.

In its affidavit, the CBI claimed that it discovered a bundle of bones from a burial site.

Ashwani Kumar, accused of administering sedatives to the victims, had filed a petition alleging that the “CBI is suppressing facts.”

Hearing the petition, Muzaffarpur POCSO court had directed the CBI under 164 of the CrPC to look into the prayers of the petitioner.

All the accused, who appeared before court, pleaded innocence and claimed trail.

These assets belong to accused Brajesh Thakur and his family," the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said.

Both sides of the case were directed to 'positively commence' arguments on framing of charges from March 2.

The case came to light last year when a report of social audit conducted by TISS flagged sexual abuse of inmates at the shelter home.

The ED may mention the role of public servants belonging to the state administration, as accused in its first probe report.
