At least five deaf and mute orphan girls were said to have been raped by members of staff at a residential home for speech therapy near Jaipur, India.
The girls, aged between 12 and 17, were reportedly sexually assaulted and beaten up by staff at the Awaaz Foundation, a government-funded NGO in Kanota outside Rajasthan's state capital.
Abuse occurred between July and March. Authorities at the residential home were warned of the abuse in January.
Police arrested five people, among them a warden and a clerk who reportedly confessed.
Ashok Prajapat, 28, a warden at the foundation's boy section, was accused of sneaking into the female dormitory at night, gagging his victims, taking them to a separate room and abusing them. He is accused of raping a girl twice and another eight times since July last 2012. Full story...
