2015 Kandhamal gang rape case

The Kandhamal gang rape case was a crime in Ranaghat, Nadia district, of the Indian state of West Bengal, in March 2015. A 71-year-old Syro-Malankara Catholic nun was gang raped by eight men who robbed a Catholic missionary school. Before the attack, school officials told police that they received death threats.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The rape was initially blamed on Hindu groups without any evidence by activists like Rana Ayyub and others.[19] However, On March 26, 2015, two men were arrested for the crimes.[20][21] Two Bangladeshi nationals were detained on March 20, 2015, on suspicion of their involvement in the sexual assault of the 71-year-old nun at the Ranaghat convent school six days prior, police said. North Dinajpur Superintendent of Police S. W. Reza said that the two suspects — Mukul Alam (28) and Md Majid (29) — bore a striking resemblance to those caught on the CCTV camera at the Convent of Jesus and Mary school on March 14, one of them having 75 percent similarity.[22][23]
