Two arrested in Bengal nun gang-rape
The nun in her seventies was raped when a group of about five intruders broke into a Convent of Jesus and Mary in Ranaghat, some km from Kolkata.
A team of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) of the state police nabbed a Bangladeshi Mohammed Salim Sheikh from Mumbai in the morning with the help of the Mumbai crime branch, police said.
CID Deputy Inspector General (operations) Dilip Kumar Adak told reporters here that another person Gopal Sarkar has been arrested from Habra in North 24 Parganas district for harbouring the gang of dacoits who committed the crime inside a convent.
This is the first arrest in the case, although nine people have been detained by the police so far.
The nun in her seventies was raped in the early hours of March 14 when a group of about five intruders broke into a Convent of Jesus and Mary in Ranaghat, some km from Kolkata.
The group vandalized the school and then one of them attacked the nun, local police officer Abhijit Biswas said, adding that the victim was in hospital and no one had so far been arrested.
"The nun was allegedly raped by the dacoits when she tried to prevent them looting the valuables inside the church. The victim has been hospitalised with critical injuries," said a police officer.
Kolkata archbishop Thomas D'Souza, who visited the convent, said that the CCTV cameras have captured three of the culprits.
"Around five men barged into the convent and ransacked. They looted money and attacked on of our elderly sisters. The CCTV footages show three of the culprits who attacked the convent," said D'Souza.
On March 18, bowing to public pressure Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ordered a CBI probe in the case.
The nun, after being discharged from hospital, left West Bengal, prompting the opposition parties to call it an embarrassment for the Mamata Banerjee government.
