Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar speaks on the horrific instances of rapes and molestation at the Muzaffarpur shelter home. "Muzaffarpur main aisi ghatana ghat gayi ki hum sharamsaar ho gaye. I am ashamed of what happened in Muzaffarpur. The CBI is investigating the matter and the hight court is monitoring it.


The CM's statement comes after the Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the Bihar shelter home rape cases on Thursday, and had sought an explanation from the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government  and the Women and Child Development Ministry as to why neither body took action to stop minor girls from being raped in the shelter home.


A notice has been issued to both governments.


Reports said that the chargesheet in the case detailed a network of police, politicians, administration and criminals behind the racket that has been going on for around four years.


The apex court has also banned electronic media from putting up images of minor girls, even in morphed or blurred forms, who were allegedly raped at the shelter homes in Muzaffarpur, ANI reported. The Supreme Court also barred the media from conducting any interviews with the minor victims.
