A joint team comprising officials of different government departments has sealed a private children’s home at Kudumiyanmalai in Pudukottai district following complaints that minor girl inmates were engaged for construction-related works, farming and domestic chores. The complaint stated that the home was being run by a government school teacher which was against rules.
The Annavasal police registered a case against the founder of the home and chairperson R. Kalaimagal and her husband Rajendran on a complaint preferred by the District Child Protection Officer J. Gunaseeli on Saturday. Kalaimagal is working as a government school teacher at Kudumiyanmalai, while her husband Rajendran was said to be acting as a counsellor in the home. The case against the couple has been registered under section 75 of The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and under IPC sections including 506 (i) (criminal intimidation). The seven girl children who were accommodated in the home were rescued by the joint team of officials and accommodated in another home at Vellanur. The couple has gone missing following the complaint.
