CHANDIGARH: A panel probing cases of sexual abuse at Rohtak's Apna Ghar shelter home has found that its caretaker used to allegedly abort pregnancies of women living there by inserting sticks into their private parts besides hitting them, sources said.
Sources said the panel found that some policemen were also involved in the abuse and that the shelter home was a "virtual brothel" from where girls were even "supplied to Delhi". They said that the name of a Rohtak hotel surfaced during the investigations, where girls were sent "almost daily for VIP customers".
The sources said the caretaker, Jaswanti Devi — abetted by her son-in-law — did not even spare mentally challenged girls. "She used to drug mentally challenged girls before pushing them into sexual exploitation and many cops were regular visitors. The girls were even forced to sleep naked in winter," a source said.
The Punjab and Haryana high court had constituted the four-member team to look into the allegations of torture and abuse and directed it to interview women living there, besides recommending those who would need medical examination.
