Family members of seven children who were rescued from begging at Jangareddygudem in Eluru district reportedly attacked the office of District Child Protection Officer (DCPO) on Thursday.
Anganwadi staff and Mahila Samrakshana Karyadarshulu (MSKs) rescued the children following a tip-off that they were seen begging near Jangareddygudem bus station in Eluru district. They were then brought to District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) of the Women Development and Child Welfare (WD&CW) department.
Later in the day, the children’s mother, along with her relatives, came to the DCPO’s office to enquire about the children. They reportedly entered into an argument with the staff for shifting the children to the office.
