The Missionaries of Charity on Tuesday released a statement saying that it will fully cooperate with the investigation in relation to the child-trafficking case that happened in the Ranchi home of Missionaries of Charity.
They also expressed their disappointment with the false news being circulated against the organisation.
"We are fully cooperating with the investigations and are open to any free, fair and just inquiry. In this context, especially in view of many myths being spread, information distorted and false news being diffused and baseless innuendos being thrown about regarding the Mother Teresa Sisters, it is expedient to lay down the turn of events as they actually transpired," read the statement.
The statement further clarified that neither Nirmal Hriday nor the Sisters could ascertain if a mother actually surrendered her child to the CWC.
Nirmal Hriday also expressed their disappointment with the government's treatment towards it, following the incident.
