Raids are being conducted on Good News India-run Dream Centre shelter homes across Odisha by the police and Child Welfare Committee.
Meanwhile, GNI founder and chairman Faiz Rahman was taken into custody on Tuesday for questioning.
According to reports, 134 inmates, including 80 girls, were shifted from the shelter home. After counselling by the Ganjam CWC, 62 inmates were handed over to their guardians. The rest would be sent to their respective places on Wednesday.
In a related development, a video clip purportedly showing Mr. Rahman converting children to Christianity has surfaced. State Women and Child Development Minister Prafulla Samal said, “Upon registration of FIR, the government would probe conversion activities, if any.”
