LUCKNOW, April 5 -- Even as a magisterial inquiry into the deaths of five children at a shelter for children with special needs here was completed and its report submitted to the Women and Child Development (WCD) Department on Wednesday, officials remained tight-lipped on the report's findings even on Friday.

According to the Lucknow district magistrate's office and WCD director Sandeep Kaur, the inquiry team submitted the report to WCD on April 2. Kaur, on Thursday, had said the findings of the report, and orders for consequent action, would be shared with the media on Friday.

Meanwhile, there were rumours of the report suggesting blacklisting of Nirvan Rajkiya Bal Grah Visheshikrit, the shelter in question.
