RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav today again pressed for a CBI inquiry into allegations of sexual exploitation of girls at a government-funded shelter home in Muzaffarpur and demanded that the probe be monitored by a High Court.
"We stick to our demand for a CBI inquiry into the matter. In view of the seriousness of the matter involved, we would like the probe to be monitored by the High Court", he told reporters here.
A former inmate of the shelter home for girls had alleged that a co-resident was beaten to death and buried in the premises when she had resisted sexual exploitation, and several other girls were raped, prompting the Bihar police to dig up the courtyard to look for the body.
Muzaffarpur Senior Superintendent of Police Harpreet Kaur had said yesterday, "Nothing incriminating could be found from the spot identified by one of the former inmate of the shelter home where, she had claimed, one girl had been buried after being beaten to death."
