The owner and manager of a children's boarding school in western India have been arrested after five minors said they were raped, forced to watch pornographic films and act them out with one another, police and charity workers said.

The children were made to eat feces as a punishment if they did not comply.

The 52-year-old owner of the Chandraprabha Charitable Trust and his female manager, 30, were arrested Monday after a police raid on the school in the city of Karjat, in Maharashtra state.
