Deoria Shelter Home Case: Rescued Girls Reveal Ghastly Details
Narrating the ordeal they went through at the shelter home in Deoria, some of the rescued inmates revealed that they were beaten, sexually harassed and married off to men twice their age, according to a Hindustan Times report. The report cited a women counsellor, who spoke to the girls, saying that Girija Tripathi, the manager of the Deoria shelter home, used to organise mass marriages and had even supervised one such function in February this year. She said girls told her during counselling that some of them were married off to older men by Girija in a similar function last year.
