EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Oct 23: Twenty eight Ladakhi children including four girls, victims of Leh cloudburst disaster, who were brought here by a Jammu-based Non Government Organisation (NGO) on the pretext of providing them a better life, have been restored back to their parents today.
The children were allegedly kidnapped by the NGO members, who put them in inhuman condition in a rented accommodation at Dogra Hall area here.
The children were handed over to their parents and General Secretary of Ladakh Buddhist Council (LBC) PT Kunjuckh, who later took them to Kargil House near Railway Station Jammu. The children remained under police custody. A police team is also being dispatched to Leh to drop them safely to their home town.
The children were released from NGO- Youth Movement for Peace by police after lodging FIR against its five members identified as Vikas Sharma, Gagandeep Singh, Ranjana Sharma, Bua David and Sukhdev Massih, all residents of Reshamghar Colony.
The case was registered following complaints by the parents of children, who were brought to Jammu by the NGO through alleged fraudulent means.
In their complaints, the parents said that taking advantage of natural disaster which struck Leh on August 6, an NGO Youth Movement for Peace (YMP) reached there and distributed relief material among the affected families thereby winning their confidence.
They alleged that after the completion of their task in Leh, the members of the NGO disappeared from the scene along with the children without informing them.
For the last two months, they were searching their children in Leh, said aggrieved parents. The parents said they came to know about the presence of their children in Jammu through media.
On the basis of the complaints, police registered a case under sections 363, 365, 344, 420 and 120-B of RPC against the members of the NGO.
All the members of the NGO were arrested by police after conducting a late night raid on their headquarters at Reshamgarh Colony and Dogra Hall.
Sources said that children were most probably brought here for their conversion to some other religion.
The NGO was already in thick of controversies for such alleged acts, informed sources
Worth while to mention here that some time back, people had gheraoed the Dogra Hall office of the NGO and shouted slogans against its members. The inquiry in this connection was initiated by a police team on the directions of DIG Farooq Khan. During inquiry it was found that the children were brought to Jammu on flimsy grounds.
District Development Commissioner, Jammu Manoj Kumar Dwivedi when contacted said that the LBC General Secretary contacted him and urged to take the children back to Leh from Jammu as the parents, who were concerned over their disappearance, want early possession of their wards after knowing their whereabouts. He further said that all the children are being deported to Leh tomorrow. |
