Meanwhile Juvenile Justice Board, Imphal West has issued an order today for investigation against Linthoi and Milan under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Child) Rule 10 (B) .
According to the order, report of the investigation should be submitted by July 30 .
A 12 year old girl who used to work as a domestic helper at the home of RK (O) Linthoi w/o RK Milan of Sagolband Tera Sayang ran out from the home on July 17 before she met with some DESAM volunteers.
Later speaking to media persons, the girl said that she and her younger sister worked as domestic helpers at Linthoi's home.
However, the girl was allegedly beaten very severely every now and then.
It was because of the frequent thrashing that she ran out from the home.
After the girl and her younger sister were rescued by DESAM, the two girls have been handed over to a children home, according to the students' body.
On being contacted, Child Welfare Committee, Imphal West officials told The Sangai Express that the two girls are being housed in a children home and all their requirements are being looked after.
