A couple here have been booked for allegedly sexually exploiting two minor siblings they had adopted through a Kolkata-based organisation for over nearly three months before sending them back, police said on Tuesday.

Nitin Sharma and his wife, residents of Sector 10, Gurugram, had adopted a 2-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother from Kolkata on March 30. However, they left the children back in Kolkata on July 12, according to the complaint.

Before sending the two siblings back to the shelter home where they were staying prior to the adoption, their medical examination was conducted by a board of doctors. In the medical examination, it was found that the children had been sexually exploited, Sinha alleged in the complaint.

On the basis of the complaint, a zero FIR was registered at Rabindra Sarobar police station and the case file was sent to the Gurugram police, the police said.

An FIR under sections 354 (molestation) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act was registered against the accused couple at Sector 10 A police station here on December 9, they said.
