Bhopal: Five siblings, baby youngest babies for 10 months and oldest boys, were saved after they were found to beg on the streets of Bhind in Madhya Pradesh.
Children were allowed to fight for themselves after their parents died because Covid was more than a year ago.
Other children aged five, three and two years old.
A video from them begged food, with the oldest sister who brought a baby on his arm, shared widely on social media.
Madhya Pradesh Cm Shivraj Singh Chouhan saw the video and ordered the government to save them.
Fifth is now in a shelter for children.
Their father died in February last year and their mother in March.
Their aunt made them with her for a while but then left them with their grandfather in Bhind.
Children can be given to be adopted, if their relatives give approval, said the source.
