CM directs government to hand over Muzaffarpur shelter case to CBI

New Delhi: With no developments reported in the recent Muzaffarpur shelter home case, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar had ordered the Chief Secretary, Principal Home Secretary and the DGP to hand over the investigation to the CBI.

The Bihar Assembly was adjourned for the second consecutive day on Wednesday over the alleged sexual exploitation of girls at the Muzaffarpur shelter home and questions raised during the Question Hour by Congress MLA Vijay Shankar Dubey who demanded a CBI probe into the case, india.com reported.

Other Opposition MLAs, RJD, Congress and others too raised questions regarding the government’s refusal to hand over the investigation to the CBI.
