Nun leaves West Bengal?
According to reports, she left for an unknown destination after she was released from the hospital where she was undergoing treatment.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday decided to hand over the Ranaghat nun's gang-rape case to CBI as a probe by the CID continues to hit the wall several days after the incident.
A gang of miscreants that broke into a convent of Gangnapur in Ranaghat under Nadia district, gang-raped the 72-year-old Mother Superior after robbing Rs. 12 lakh and valuables.
The incident evoked widespread indignation across the country and put Banerjee's government in a spot with religious heads of the Christian community openly criticising the administration.
The people continued to demand immediate arrest of the culprits who remained at large even though the CID issued a cash reward of Rs one lakh for any information on the eight suspects, four of whom had been captured in CCTV footage.
The Chief Minister, who visited Gangnapur on Monday, faced the ire of the people, who barred the way of her vehicle and detained her for more than an hour.
As the mob jeered at her for the alleged police inaction, an angry Chief Minister accused the CPI(M) and BJP of conspiring to harass her.
