Jharkhand Police has arrested the owner of illegal children’s home which was being run at Phullanwal of Ludhiana. Satyendra Prakash Musa (58), who was running Paksin Mary Cross Child Shelter Home in Phullanwal without getting it registered under the Juvenile Justice Act, was arrested late on Tuesday. Musa was arrested on charges of illegal human trafficking and illegal religious conversion. According to the probe being conducted by the team of Jharkhand Police, which was camping in Ludhiana since August 23, Musa also converted children to Christianity and gave them Christian names.
A total of 38 children were living at the shelter home of which only eight — four from different districts of Jharkhand and four from Bihar — were found when a raid was conducted on August 20. At least 30 children, all allegedly trafficked from Jharkhand, are yet to be traced. While Musa claims to have handed over the 30 missing children to their parents, the police are yet to verify his claims.
