Bail Granted to Brajesh Thakur in the Swadhar Griha Case
The Swadhar Home case, often referred to as the Muzaffarpur Girls Home case, involves allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of minor girls at a shelter home in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The case gained significant media attention due to the nature of the accusations and the involvement of several high-profile individuals, including Brajesh Thakur, the prime accused and head of the NGO running the shelter.
To clarify the details mentioned in your statement:
Bail and Acquittal of Accused: There appears to be some confusion regarding the judicial developments. While Brajesh Thakur, Shaista Praveen, and Krishna were indeed implicated in the case, they were granted bail and, according to your description, later acquitted due to lack of evidence. This means that despite the serious nature of the charges, the court found insufficient evidence to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to their release.
Convictions and Tihar Jail: The mention of the accused being convicted in the “Girls Home case in Delhi’s Tihar Jail” is likely a mix-up. The Muzaffarpur case and the Tihar Jail case are distinct incidents. The Tihar case involved another shelter home (not in Muzaffarpur) where abuse was similarly reported, leading to convictions in a separate legal proceeding.
Court’s Decision: In the case of the Muzaffarpur Girls Home, the special court, which dealt with cases under the SC/ST (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Act, granted bail and acquitted the accused. This suggests that while the case was high-profile, the prosecution may have faced challenges in presenting solid evidence that could stand up in court, leading to the eventual acquittal.
Tight Security: Given the high-profile nature of the case and the serious charges, the authorities maintained tight security when transporting the accused from Tihar Jail to Muzaffarpur for legal proceedings.
