Indian has been put on shame in the World Map after the nation’s Eastern state West Bengal’s suburban town Ranaghat witnessed a gang rape of a NUN. People all over the world is condemning this issue and protests were held in the Ranaghat region where the incident took place. Schools and shops were closed on Tuesday to protest against the “inhuman” crime being conducted all over the country and particularly for the ghastly incident that happened there. The nun was attacked after half a dozen robber broke into the school and ransacked the premises.
With Vatican pushing for justice and the Italian Vice Consul landing on ground zero the case is being handed over to the CBI. A pushed political move from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seeking CBI probe on Ranaghat rape case. A tad bit late as it is believed that the culprits have crossed the border and the only way to nab them is to get Interpol activated. But what if the incident is found to be a fallout of the nun’s resistance to murky land deals forced upon by local political goons? Will the Chief Minister accept the verdict?
Even after 4 days, the CID, which is investigating the case, has failed to make any arrest, although some more people were detained for questioning. The delay in apprehending the culprits has sparked anger in both the Christian community and the local public.
The locals also took out a rally in the town. Students from Jadavpur University and Presidency University also visited Ranaghat in a show of solidarity with the students and teachers of Convent of Jesus and Mary High School.
