Lindsay Lohan is being attack over claims that she saved 40 kids on a trip to India to make a BBC documentary about child trafficking. But according to the charity which organised the raid, neither Lohan, 23, nor the BBC, were present.

Lindsay twittered: “Over *40 children saved* so far…… Within one day’s work…… This is what life is about….. Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!” she said. She later added: “Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time…. hope everyone can see that.”

Her comments caused a stir in India and anger among those who led the raid.  The raids, which involved two months of planning by local police and magistrates, were on 15 workshops in central New Delhi where children as young as seven were making mirrored ornaments for export.

The children were freed on Tuesday, hours before Lilo  arrived in India and a day before she and her BBC Three film crew visited the Ashram rehabilitation centre where the children were taken before being returned to their families. “She was not even in the country when this raid happened,”
