Kochi: The Crime Branch Thursday informed the High Court that the main purpose children were brought from other states to Kerala was to overcome shortage of orphans and destitute children in the orphanage at Mukkam at Kozhikode.
The case pertains to the recent bringing of 588 children from Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal to the state.
In the statement filed by R Sudhakaran Pillai, CB-CID, Deputy Superintendent of Police, it was also pointed out that the main reason behind transportation of children to the state was to prevent the 'division fall' due to shortage of students in the school run by orphanage.
Police also said shortage of inmates in the orphanage had adversely affected collection of funds as contributions are government grants aids, from local sources and outside.
The Crime Branch also ruled out the possibilities of sexual abuse, organ trade and child labour, they claimed that investigation was proper and a special team was appointed.
However, it was found that the documents relating to the children brought from Jharkhand were forged, it was stated.
Over 580 children from Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal, meant to be brought to two orphanages in Kerala, were detained by police at a railway station in Palakkad early in June after it was found many did not have any proper documents.
The issue had snowballed into a major row in the state with IUML, the key partner in UDF, taking objection to treating the incident as a case of child trafficking.
Taking serious note of the incident, Kerala State Child Rights Protection Commission had directed the state government to take necessary steps to send the children back home.
The children are now kept at state-run juvenile homes of the Child Welfare Society in Palakkad, Malappuram and Thrissur.
