3 officials suspended in Bhopal children’s home case; missing girls safe, says Madhya Pradesh CM

Three officials of the Madhya Pradesh’s Women and Child Department were suspended and two were issued showcause notices after a children’s home was found running illegally on the outskirts of Bhopal. 

At least 27 girls were also said to be missing from the centre but Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said later in the day that all the girls were safe.

An FIR has also been filed against the children’s home and its manager, identified as Anil Mathew, under Sections 42 and 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, at the Parwaliya police station.
