Muzaffarpur horror: Fresh case against main accused
Patna, July 31 : Police have filed a fresh case against the main accused in the rape of 34 minor girls in a shelter home, Brajesh Thakur, after 11 women were reported missing from another of his shelter home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district.
An FIR was filed against Thakur's NGO Sewa Sankalp Va Vikas Samiti on a complaint by Dinesh Kumar Sharma, an official of Social Welfare Department, late on Monday night, police said.
Thakur is in jail and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing the case in which minor girls were allegedly sexually assaulted in Balika Grih, a short-stay girls' shelter home, also run by Thakur in Muzaffarpur.
In his complaint, Sharma said 11 women had gone missing from another shelter home run by Thakur. "There is no trace of these women and the NGO that manages it is totally silent over it," Sharma said.
The CBI on Sunday took over the shelter home rape case after a recommendation by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who described it as "a heinous crime."

Cong cites Kangana's purported remarks to accuse BJP of wanting to bring back repealed farm laws
New Delhi, Sep 24: The Congress on Tuesday cited BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's purported remarks on farm laws to allege that the ruling party was making efforts to bring back the three laws that were repealed in 2021, and asserted that Haryana will give a befitting reply to it.
The Congress shared on X an undated video of Ranaut in which she is purportedly saying in Hindi, "Farm laws that have been repealed should be brought back. I think this may get controversial. The laws in farmers' interest be brought back. Farmers should themselves demand this (to bring farm laws back) so that there is no hindrance to their prosperity.
"Farmers are a pillar of strength in India's progress. Only in some states, they had objected to farm laws. I appeal with folded hands that farm laws should be brought back in the interest of farmers."
In a post in Hindi along with the video, the Congress said, "The three black laws imposed on farmers should be brought back: BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has said this. More than 750 farmers of the country were martyred, only then did the Modi government wake up and these black laws were withdrawn."
Now BJP MPs are planning to bring back these laws, the Congress alleged.
"The Congress is with the farmers. These black laws will never return, no matter how hard Narendra Modi and his MPs try," the opposition party said on X.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also shared the video of Ranaut on X and said, "'All three farm laws should be brought back': BJP MP Kangana Ranaut. More than 750 farmers were martyred while protesting against the three black farmer laws. Efforts are being made to bring them back."
"We will never let that happen. Haryana will answer first," she said in an apparent reference to the assembly polls in Haryana.
Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera also shared the video on X and said it was the BJP's "real thinking".
"How many times will you deceive the farmers, you two-faced people?" Khera said in a post in Hindi.
The three laws -- Farmer's Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act -- were repealed in November 2021.
The farmers' protest started at the fag-end of November 2020 and ended after Parliament repealed the three laws. The legislations came into force in June 2020 and were repealed in November 2021.
