The inspection was conducted by DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal on February 4 night.
DCW has issued a notice to the social welfare department secretary and set up a separate inquiry committee to look into the complaints against the home.
Highlighting severely unsanitary conditions and overcrowding at the home, the petitioner in his plea said the court should take steps to stop such incidents, including its inmates going missing and not being traced till date.
