However, the Delhi Commission for the Protection of Child Rights had contradicted the apex child rights body’s report in Delhi High Court. The raids on the children’s homes — Umeed Aman Ghar for boys and Khushi Rainbow Home for girls — began about the same time. An ED source said: “The police’s FIR is against the two children’s homes and their parent body, the Centre for Equity Studies, of which Mander is a director. The NCPCR informed Delhi High Court in July that it had recommended action against the two children’s homes after finding irregularities. They were curious why Harsh did not draw a salary and why the CES only functioned from rented premises,” a CES source said.
