Bhopal, Sept 15 (IBNS): The inmates of a private shelter home in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, have alleged that they were being subjected to sexual abuse for a long time by the owner of the facility, who is a  former Army man, media reports said.

Based on the complaints, the 70-year old owner has been arrested.
