A nun in her 70s was gang-raped by a group of
bandits Saturday when she tried to prevent them
from robbing a Christian missionary school in
India, police said, the latest crime to draw attention
to the scourge of sexual violence in the country.
The nun was hospitalized in serious condition after
being attacked by seven or eight men at the
Convent of Jesus and Mary School in Nadia
district, 80 kilometers (50 miles) northeast of the
West Bengal state capital of Kolkata, a police
officer said.
The men escaped and police are searching for
them, said the officer, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to talk
to reporters.
The robbers tied the school’s security guards with
ropes early Saturday and entered the nuns’ room,
where the women were sleeping. They took one of
the nuns to another room when she tried to block
their way and then raped her, the officer said.
The woman who was attacked is either 71 or 72
and is the oldest nun at the school, he said.
The men escaped with some cash, a cellphone, a
laptop computer and a camera, all belonging to the
school, the officer said. They also ransacked the
school’s chapel and holy items, the Press Trust of
India news agency cited the archbishop of Kolkata,
Thomas D’Souza, as saying.
Scores of angry students, their parents and
teachers blocked a nearby highway and railroad
tracks for several hours demanding swift police
action leading to the arrest of the culprits.
Mamta Banerjee, the state’s top elected official,
strongly condemned the attack and ordered a
high-level police investigation. D’Souza appealed
to people to maintain peace and harmony in the
area.
India has a long history of tolerance for sexual
violence, but the December 2012 fatal gang rape of
a 23-year-old woman aboard a moving bus in
New Delhi caused outrage across the nation.
The outcry led the federal government to rush
legislation doubling prison terms for rapists to 20
years and criminalizing voyeurism, stalking and the
trafficking of women. The law also makes it a
crime for officers to refuse to open cases when
complaints are made.
