Dhenkanal: Dhenkanal Sadar Police have submitted a chargesheet against Fayaz Rahman, Managing Director of the NGO, Good News India and the shelter home incharge, Simanchal Nayak in the Orissa High Court.

It may be recalled that the NGO had come under the scanner in December last year, due to cases of sexual abuse in the shelter home. Police have framed the chargesheet on the basis of the case under Section 354 (a) of the Special POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act registered against Rahman pertaining to sexual abuse of minor girls and religious conversion activities.


The Sadar Police had registered three cases under Sections 537, 539 and 540 of the IPC against Rahman on the basis of a complaint filed by the District Child Welfare Committee, District Child Welfare Officer and inmates of the shelter home.


The Dhenkanal Sadar Police had arrested Rahman on December 3 and taken him on a two-day remand following permission from Special POCSO Court. After the end of the remand period, police had produced him before the POCSO Court on December 5. The police had again taken him on a fresh remand of two days the following day. He was sent to Dhenkanal jail on December 7 after the court rejected his bail petition.
