In a shocking incident, Muzaffarpur shelter home survivor, who was reunited with her family after a sex scandal broke out in May 2018, was allegedly abducted and gang raped in a moving car by four members of the same family on the Bettiah-Pakhnaha road in West Champaran district. The girl has already identified two of the perpetrators.
An audio clip has gone viral, which apparently contains the confession of the accused of the heinous crime.

The victim was a survivor of the Muzaffarpur shelter home run by Brajesh Thakur. 42 girls were allegedly mentally and physically abused at this government-aided shelter home.
