Ranchi, April 26: Chairman of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Priyank Kanoongo, today landed in Ranchi following information regarding the sexual exploitation of a 7-year-old girl in a shelter home in Kute under the Nagri police station area.
Kanoongo informed this to lagatar24.com saying that he reached out after it came to his knowledge that the shelter home is being run by a famous figure and an attempt is being made to hush up the matter. Kanoongo, however, did not share any details regarding the famous figure.
“Today I am in Ranchi, Jharkhand, here in a children’s home, a case of sexual violence with a child by the staff and then suppressing him has come to light. Children’s homes belong to the same institution belonging to the same influential former bureaucrat, where children are used in picketing, demonstration and chaotic activities,” NCPCR chairman Kanoongo’s tweet read.
आज राँची झारखंड में हूँ,यहाँ एक चिल्ड्रन होम में बच्चे के साथ स्टाफ़ द्वारा यौन हिंसा व उसके बाद उसको दबाने का मामला प्रकाश में आया है।
बालगृह उसी रसूख़दार पूर्व नौकरशाह से ही सम्बंधित संस्था का है जहां बच्चों का उपयोग धरना,प्रदर्शन व अराजक गतिविधियों में करते हैं।— प्रियंक कानूनगो Priyank Kanoongo (@KanoongoPriyank) April 26, 2022
Contacted SP (rural), Naushad Alam, for his comment, he expressed his inability to share any details in the matter. “I have deputed an officer with the chairman of NCPCR and is waiting for him to return after a proper probe into the matter,” Alam said.
