UP shelter home was ordered to shut in 2017, ran illegally
After 24 girls were rescued from the Deoria shelter home, Uttar Pradesh minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi said the CBI had ordered to shut it last year after an inspection revealed it was running illegally. She added the order wasn't followed. Deoria District Magistrate Sujit Kumar has been removed and a high-level probe has been initiated into the case, Bahuguna said.
