The raids in Jalpaiguri, which exposed the suspected international child racket, happened after the CID received a complaint from the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), a statutory body under the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development, about “irregularities” prevailing at the homes in January. Watch what else is making news:Chakraborty, the owner of the three homes, is the headmistress of a primary school in Maynaguri. Sources in CID said Bimala Sishu Griho has been operating for over 10 years. The incident comes around a month after CID filed a chargesheet, naming 19 people, in the Baduria newborn trafficking case. In this case, pregnant women were given shelter at these three homes.
