Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case: Following is the chronology of events in the Muzaffarpur shelter home case in which a Delhi court Monday convicted Brajesh Thakur and 18 others for physically and sexually assaulting several minor girls:
The Supreme Court Monday directed the CBI to complete by June 3 its probe into the alleged murder of 11 girls at a shelter home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur and asked the agency to file a status report.
A Delhi court on Saturday framed various charges, including criminal conspiracy to commit rape and penetrative sexual assault, against all accused persons in the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case.
Verma had resigned last week following allegations that her husband was a regular visitor to the girls' shelter home where minor girls were subjected to sexual abuse.
The CBI is understood to have been looking at various angles, which include sexual abuse of inmates at the Muzaffarpur shelter home, misuse of public funds allocated to an NGO controlled by Thakur, and the alleged links of high-profile people with the prime accused.
During his press conference in Patna on Monday, the Bihar CM said: "If someone related to the Minister is involved, they won't be spared. But why is this issue being raised only now."
According to sources, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has sought a report from Women and Child Development department chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi. District Magistrate Sujit Kumar has been removed from his post, while then-DPO Abhishek Pandey has been suspended.
The girl was among the four who had managed to flee, while three other inmates had died.
