The 72-year-old nun raped during an assault on a convent school in West Bengal last week left hospital today and flew out of Kolkata to an unknown destination.
She left the hospital at Ranaghat at 2:20 in the morning, accompanied by church officials and some police. She requested a doctor accompany her as far as the airport, so a doctor went with her. The hospital said she has recovered completely.
Her departure from West Bengal comes a week after the assault on her, a week in which police has failed to arrest a single culprit though CCTV captured at least four faces and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was compelled to hand over investigation to the CBI.
The men roamed around the school and damaged a bust of Jesus Christ in a chapel before breaking into the nuns' quarters. They locked the nuns were locked up in a room, dragged the 72-year-old nun, who was then raped by one of the men. They later decamped with about Rs 2 lakh which was in the office cupboard and some valuables from the chapel.
Police have detained about a dozen men, but no arrests have been made.
