Dimapur, March 24 2013 : Another raiding was conducted today at ‘Grace Home’ run by Jacob John in Jaipur, Rajasthan by activists and NGOs involving the Tangkhul Shanao Long, Delhi (TSLD) but Jacob John’s second wife ( from Holland) escaped with the remaining two kids before the activists arrived at the Grace Home.
Two sisters aged 7 and 8 from Ukhrul district of Manipur were taken away from the children’s home by the wife of Jacon John after being informed by someone that activists were coming to raid the ‘home’ again.
“After learning that two more kids were still at the children’s home, we came to raid it but before we arrived Jacob John’s wife had escaped with the two sisters,” Felicita Shongvah, president of Tangkhul Shanao Long, Delhi informed Newmai News Network over phone from Jaipur today.
She also informed that a man who seems to be a friend of Jacob John came and threatened the activists at the children’s home today saying he is from the Congress party and now Rajasthan is rule by the party.
But as soon as the media team arrived after being called in by the activists, the man disappeared, said Felicita Shongvah.

Felicita Shongvah disclosed that Jacob John’s younger brother is married to Lungnem Vashi’s sister.
The TSLD president further alleged that the involvement of one A.S.Worthingla of Khamasom Khullen village of Ukhrul district is also suspected.

It was not clear whether Worthingla had gone to Jaipur or not but she wrote to the police station where Jacob John was lodged for the release of the latter,” alleged Felicita Shongvah.
Worthingla’s 9 years old daughter is reportedly among the 51 children rescued from the Grace Home on March 12 .
According to Felicita Shongvah, A.S.Worthingla, in her petition to the police station, mentioned that she had sent her daughter to the Grace Home after she had given her consent.
