“I was on the firt floor of the shelter home when the in-charge Girija Tripathi called me and instructed me to wipe the ground floor. She received a phone call and got engrossed in the conversation. I saw an opportune moment to flee. I ran without any second thoughts towards the police station”.

Revealing about the malpractices committed by the runner of the shelter home, she said that older inmates used to be taken away in cars with ‘Madamji’ (Girijia) around 4 pm and they were dropped back the next morning. She told about the colors of the car as they were used to be of various colors ‘like red, black, grey and looked expensive”.

She further said “After returning, the ‘didis’ (older inmates) used to cry on seeing and meeting us… the younger girls were forced to sweep the floor and do other household work. We were beaten up by different men for not following their diktats,” she said.
