An official spokesman told PTI that the case being investigated by a Special Investigation Team headed by an Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Haryana Police would now be handed over to the CBI for a fair and impartial probe.
The scandal-hit Apna Ghar, being run by NGO Bharat Vikas Sangh, was sealed on June 9 three days after Haryana Police DGP R S Dalal announced the constitution of the ADGP headed SIT.
Inmates of the home were allegedly subjected to sexual abuse, physical and mental exploitation and used as bonded labour.
The National Commission for Protection of Child Right (NCPCR) had rescued nearly 120 people, including children and women, from the house after carrying out a surprise raid on May 9.
The house in Rohtak, the native place of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, was sealed on the directives of Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) MS Mann, who had been deputed as head of Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe allegations of sexual abuse of children and women in the home.
