The alleged leak of the profiles of minor girls residing at various Child Care Institutions (CCIs) in Krishna district occurred nearly 45 days ago, according to an inquiry conducted into the incident by the Department of Juvenile Welfare, Correctional Services and Welfare of Street Children.
A woman employee-cum-counsellor of a Girls’ Home in Vijayawada reportedly helped a Child Welfare Committee (CWC) member leak the data of the minor girls in violation of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
Officials launched their inquiry two days ago following a report published in The Hindu over the alleged leakage of the confidential profiles of the minor girls.
