I can identify the culprits, says nun

NEW DELHI: While demanding justice, the nun who was allegedly raped in Orissa’s riot-hit Kandhamal district has claimed that she can identify the culprits.

The nun alleged that some men had dragged her out from a Hindu household where she was hiding. “...Two men were holding my hand, one raped me,” she told CNN-IBN from an “undisclosed location.”

Seeks justice

She demanded justice not only for herself “but for the sake of the people she was working with.”

The nun appealed to the State government for ensuring protection to the people of Kandhamal and said the situation had been bad for far too long.

Police inaction

Blaming the police for inaction, she claimed that when she was being taken towards the market, the policemen present there failed to protect her. She alleged that “...they were sitting like stones. They did not talk or move.”

She has left Orissa after the incident and is not sure whether she will return to Kandhamal. — PTI
