Those girls used to have counseling on Tuesdays. In the name of counselling, they were taken outside, where they were harassed.
Girls were supplied to big officials
CBI made 21 accused in this case. Of these, 10 were women, who not only kept hiding the cruelty being done to the girls of the girls' home, but also kept torturing the girls to keep them silent. Not only this, everyone from the cook to the gatekeeper posted in the Muzaffarpur Girls Home were accused of raping the girls. Brijesh Thakur was the director of Muzaffarpur Shelter Home. He was the main accused in this case. More than six girls here had accused him of rape. The allegation was that he used to supply girls from here to even big officials. For this he had built his safe houses in Muzaffarpur and Patna.
