An FIR has been filed against 5 women after girls at an orphanage in Indore alleged that they were tortured in the name of punishment.&nbsp;

21 girls allegedly stripped, branded with hot iron at Indore orphanage

An FIR has been filed against 5 women after girls at an orphanage in Indore alleged that they were tortured in the name of punishment. 

An FIR has been filed against 5 women after girls at an orphanage in Indore alleged that they were tortured in the name of punishment.&nbsp;

21 girls at an orphanage in Madhya Pradesh&rsquo;s Indore were allegedly tortured and abused by their caretakers.&nbsp;
The police said that the girls have alleged horrifying ways of punishment, including branding with hot tongs, hanging them upside down and forced to inhale smoke from burning red chillies. The alleged was torture was done in the name of punishment.
The local authorities have sealed the orphanage and filed an FIR against 5 women.&nbsp;
However, the NGO running the children's facility said it was a hostel and not an orphanage, and filed a habeas corpus petition in the Madhya Pradesh High Court challenging the administration's action.
It also denied all allegations mentioned in the FIR filed on the basis of a complaint by the local CWC.
The administration sealed the facility, "Vatsalyapuram", located in the Vijayanagar area on January 12 for illegal operation and shifted the inmates, girls aged between four and 14 years, to the state-run Child Protection Home and another institution, the official said.
The girl inmates told the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) that they were tortured in the name of punishment in the premises, he said.
In the FIR lodged on the night of January 17, it was mentioned a four-year-old girl was beaten up for wearing dirty clothes, locked in the bathroom for several hours and not given food for two days.
It was also alleged in the FIR that children were hung upside down and forced to inhale smoke from red chillies kept on a hot pan below.
Two children were branded with hot tongs at the hands of a minor girl and one girl was taken to a furnace after being stripped in front of other kids and warned of being burnt, the official said, citing the document.
On the other hand, the NGO running the facility, Jain Welfare Society, has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Indore bench of the High Court.
Vibhor Khandelwal, a counsel for the private institution, told PTI, "Vatsalayapuram is not an orphanage but a standalone hostel where children from economically weaker families are taken care of for an annual fee of just Rs 5." Khandelwal claimed the administration had "unauthorizedly" sealed Vatsalyapuram and norms and due process of law were not followed while shifting the inmates to another institutions.
He said the habeas corpus petition has sought that the children be handed over to the hostel administration or their parents.
A habeas corpus writ is used to seek release of a person from unlawful detention or imprisonment.
Khandelwal also rejected the allegations mentioned in the FIR.
"Five women associated with the orphanage have been named in the FIR registered under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act," Vijay Nagar police station sub-inspector Kirti Tomar said.
Investigation into these allegations was still at an early stage, she said.
"The children who were rescued from the orphanage are natives of Rajasthan and Gujarat," Indore-based Child Welfare Committee (CWC) chairperson Pallavi Porwal said.
"We have written to the Child Welfare Committees of these states asking them to ascertain the socio-economic background of these children and submit a report to us so that they can be rehabilitated," said Porwal.&nbsp;

AAP claims Sisodia being tortured in custody by CBI, pressured to sign documents with false charges

According to officials, the agency wants to utilise Sisodia's custody to locate the crucial missing file containing legal opinions on the expert committee recommendations on the excise policy, which remains untraceable even now.

AAP national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj Sunday claimed the CBI was "torturing" senior party leader Manish Sisodia and pressuring him to sign papers containing false charges.
The federal probe agency arrested Sisodia on February 26 for allegedly not cooperating in the investigation into the Delhi excise policy case and being evasive on questions from investigators. A special CBI court on Saturday extended the custody of Sisodia till March 6.
On February 28, Sisodia resigned from the Arvind Kejriwal-led cabinet.
According to officials, the agency wants to utilise Sisodia's custody to locate the crucial missing file containing legal opinions on the expert committee recommendations on the excise policy, which remains untraceable even now.
"Manish Sisodia is being tortured by the CBI and being pressured to sign the documents containing false charges framed against him. CBI has no evidence against Sisodia. They never mentioned any evidence is missing. They raided his residence but found nothing," Bhardwaj told reporters here on Sunday.
Sisodia, who was produced before the court on Saturday on the expiry of his five-day CBI custody, claimed that he was "sitting for eight to nine hours and answering the same questions again and again" and termed it "mental harassment".
To this, the judge, who had in the last hearing directed the CBI not to use the third degree on the accused, told the probe agency not to ask the "same questions again and again". "If you have something new, ask him," the judge said.
