One more person was arrested on Friday in connection with the shelter home sex scandal by the CBI which produced the accused before a court and obtained his custody for four days.
Gaurava Kumar alias Motu, a former employee of prime accused Brajesh Thakur, was arrested in the town and produced before the Special POCSO court here.
Special POCSO judge R P Tiwari granted four days CBI custody of Motu, with whose arrest the total number of persons held so far in the case has reached 15.
The court also granted permission to the investigating agency to send for forensic examination some skeletal remains, which were found during an excavation carried out at a crematorium here earlier this week.
The excavation was carried out following a tip-off by Thakur’s driver Vijay. While the case was being investigated by police, one of the inmates at the shelter home had alleged that a girl lodged there had been beaten to death by the staff and her body was buried in the
courtyard. However, nothing incremental was found when the courtyard was dug up in July.
