A snap of his beaming face while being escorted by police has triggered a wave of anger on social media and nationwide revulsion. The unearthing of 34 rapes at a Bihar shelter home for girls has shocked the country, but it turns out that the owner and prime accused, Brajesh Thakur, may have indulged in more such depravity and unimaginable brutality.

The police have now found that 11 women and four children are missing from another home he ran from the Muzaffarpur red-light area, called Chaturbhuj Sthan.

The first shelter, Seva Sankalp Samiti, has been shut since June when police arrested 10 people, including the owner, after investigations showed girls had been abused.

A second FIR has been filed against Thakur who owns three newspapers and has even contested the Bihar polls - by all accounts a rich, influential individual who hobnobbed with some of the top politicians of the state. The FIR says that the women, aged between 20 and 50 years, and children have gone missing from the second shelter home in the past two months.

India Today TV has accessed the application forwarded to the police by the Bihar social welfare department to lodge a case against Thakur along with the names of the missing. Thakur owned and ran the home that was supposed to give destitute women vocational training and make them self-reliant. Just like the children's home where a majority of the minor girls were found raped.

After the Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences exposed Thakur's deeds in its social audit report of the shelter home for girls, Bihar's social welfare department looked into the running of the Chaturbhuj Sthan shelter on March 20.

"It has been found that 11 women who were living in the shelter home are missing and I have lodged an FIR in this case," confirmed Divesh Kumar Sharma, assistant director, social welfare department, Muzaffarpur.

The 16-page charge sheet filed by the police in the first case details the horrors that Thakur subjected his wards to. The charges were filed on July 28 against the 10 accused arrested in the POCSO court. The shelter home where the 42 girls stayed had a makeshift operation theatre to abort unwanted pregnancies after the rapes.

Additional public prosecutor Sangita Sahni told India Today TV the shelter home ran as a brothel.

"When the girls used to become pregnant after sexual abuse, they were forced to undergo abortions in this operation theater in the shelter home," said Sahni. The charge sheet cites the statements of the 32 victims who were raped over several months. The police say that 67 medicines were used to drug the girls before they were raped. The girls were injected with medicines meant for epileptics to make them unconscious before the sexual abuse, say police.

The first FIR registered in May names Thakur as one of the prime accused in the rapes. The victims have told the police at length about three men who terrorised. They have mentioned a "tond wale netaji (paunchy politician), moonch wale uncle (mustached man) and hunterwale uncle (uncle with a whip)" who used to abuse them regularly. During police investigation, the victims identified Brajesh Thakur as "hunterwale uncle". The charge sheet, however, does not identify the other two people.

The CBI, which took over the case on Sunday, is going to investigate the conditions of the home further.
