Apna Ghar: CBI charges IO with misconduct

The chargesheet noted that though it found no proof against the IO to substantiate the charge against him that he destroyed evidence,he was found liable for official misconduct as he returned the laptop of one of the accused containing nude pictures of the girls who were raped at the home. After the case came to the notice of police last year,some laptops were seized from the home with nude pictures of the children.

The Apna Ghar shelter hit the headlines when a team of National Commission for Protection of Child Right (NCPCR) rescued nearly 120 people,including children and women,from the home after carrying out a surprise raid on May 9 last year.

SP (CBI) Tarun Gauba said the supplementary chargesheet was filed before a special CBI magistrate at Panchkula against 10 accused,including former IO Ranga. He added that during investigation it was found that the official was liable for misconduct,but the criminal accusation against him could not be proved.

“There was accusation that the official had helped destroy evidence by getting nude pictures on the laptop seized in the case deleted,but the same has not been proved,” he said.

The CBI was investigating allegations that the official had connived in destruction of evidence and had given a laptop to two employees of Apna Ghar,Dayanand and Harvinder Singh. The CBI found that the two employees had no role in the destruction of evidence. The supplementary chargesheet reportedly has strong evidence such as DNA samples to nail the other accused.

The CBI had earlier filed a chargesheet against seven accused,Jaswanti Devi,the main accused,her brother Jaswant Singh,daughter Simmi,son-in-law Jai Bhagwan,driver Satish,his sister Sheela and counsellor Veena.

DNA matching proved that Jai Bhagwan was the father of a baby girl born to a physically challenged rape victim. The 20-year-old victim delivered the baby on September 16,2012.

The case has been listed for hearing on September 30.
