Bhubaneswar (Orissa): Crime Branch officials of Orissa Police have recorded the statement of 29-year old Catholic Nun at her hideout in Malaviya Nagar in New Delhi, highly placed Home Department sources said here on Wednesday.
The nun, who was allegedly raped during communal violence at K Nuagaon area of Orissa's Kandhamal on August 25 has told the Special Crime Branch team led by Inspector Dilip Kumar Mohanty that after the sexual assault, she was saved by a local Hindu man from being gang raped.
Though two others also molested and attempted to rape her immediately after the incident, a local Hindu man came to her rescue and saved her from being gangraped, the nun was quoted to have said in her statement before the Crime Branch team.
A Top CB official confirmed that both the nun and Father Thomas Chelan, only witness to the incident, were examined between 5 pm and 7.30 pm on Tuesday. According to sources, the nun was confident that she would be able to identify the accused, with whom she had a scuffle.
However, the alleged victim was worried that she might not be able to identify the two others who had also attempted to rape her as she was in a semi-conscious state after being raped, they said.
Expressing her unwillingness to go to Kandhamal again, she urged the Crime Branch team to organise the Test Identification Parade (TIP) of accused persons anywhere in Orissa except Kandhamal, sources said.
