A bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur perused the status report filed by the CBI and said 'what is this going on? This is horrible'.
The
Supreme Court on Thursday termed as "horrible" and "scary"
details placed before it about the investigation into the case of
Muzzafarpur
shelter home where several girls were allegedly raped and
sexually abused.
A
bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur perused the status report filed
by the CBI and said "what is this going on? This is horrible".
The
apex court also took note of allegations referred by the CBI against
shelter home owner Brajesh
Thakur and issued notice to him to explain why he should not be
transferred to a jail outside the state.
The
CBI in its report had alleged that Thakur is an influential person
and a mobile phone was recovered from him inside the jail where he is
currently lodged under judicial custody.
The
bench also comprising Justices S Abdul Nazeer and Deepak Gupta noted
that Thakur is an influential person.
The
top court also asked the Bihar and CBI to explain delay in tracing
whereabouts of ex-minister Manju Verma's husband Chandrashekhar
Verma.
It
had asked the Bihar Police to investigate the former minister and her
husband in connection with the recovery of huge quantity of
ammunition from them.
Verma
had to resign as the minister of Social Welfare from the Bihar
government in the wake of the Muzzafarpur shelter home sexual abuse
case.
