Officials at the Missionaries of Charity organisation, the Central Government or the Home Ministry have refused to comment on the matter. Notably, a similar issue was reported and a case was filed earlier this month in Gujarat’s Vadodara district against the charity-run home for girls over reports of alleged forced conversion of inmates.
