Chairman of Chandraprabha Charitable Trust Ajit Dabholkar and manager Lalita Tonde were arrested on Tuesday after the children, some as young as 11 years old, complained about being forced to have sex among each other and with the accused.
The offence came to light when one of the inmates informed her mother who approached the Raigad Child Helpline, which complained to the police.
Maneka Gandhi, who recently assumed charge of the Ministry, is also learnt to be keen on opening a Facebook account for her ministry, including a page for complaints on issues related to women and children, sexual offences and atrocities.
