Orissa nun

Bhubaneswar, November 19: The nun who was allegedly raped during communal violence in Kandhamal has told the Crime Branch of Orissa police that after the sexual assault, she was saved by a local Hindu man from being gangraped, police said on Wednesday.

During her examination by the Crime Branch team in New Delhi, the 29-year-old nun said that she was raped at K Nuagaon in Baliguda during Orissa bandh on August 25, the sources said.

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.

Inspector General of Police (Crime Branch) Arun Ray confirmed that both the nun and Father Thomas Chelan, only witness to the incident, were examined between 5 pm And 7.30 pm. 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.

Rape of Nun by D B Atkinson, ex MP on 20 Nov 2008

Arguments! Overcome religious/caste sentiments. Be Indian. Let truth prevail. One murder led to others. Who r d culprits? Our IAs and govts lack skill and determination. Terrorists, naxalites, maoists; rapists, dacoits, corrupt are foster children of appeasement politics

Shame India Shame by jac on 20 Nov 2008

The highly disspeakable incident only reflects the cowadance of the mob culture. Also the goverment to hide/supress the justice is a pointer of bad times to come.Its a shame how these anti-social elements thrive on mob culture and ride on psedu-religious fevour, with scant respect to humanity or thier own religious beliefs.BTW, for the number sensitive majority..let me enlighten the fact that TRIBALS are not HINDUS..and the very fact that they actually for the majority ..has given the so called Hindu leaders a scare for lossing out on the vote bank.Hinduism or for that matter any religion does not preach such hatred and I believe True Democracy means Freedom of Speech/Belief/Faith.I now realise the fears of Dr. AMBEDKAR ( guys remember him...someone related to the constittution !!!) when he along with millions converted to BUDHISM....and the Dalits are comming very close to the Centre...very SOON...Till then GOD SAVE THIS COUNTRY.

This nun does not know what she is saying, Hey Godd forgive her. by Joosus Kriste on 20 Nov 2008

When I was on sooli I said these guys do not know what they are doing, Godd forgive them. Now I am saying same for this nun. Forgive her Godd, she is not knowing only what she is saying. If she got saved, then how could she be gangraped? She is making it look like noble seclallular saved soul Christians are lying when they claimed this nun was raped by comnunal unbelievers. She really does not know what she is saying. Even the priests did not coach her well and have done a great harm to harvesting the billion souls of unenlightened Indians to Christianity by planting churches and spreading nuns around. ;-)

Kudos to brave Christian nun for proving that many Hindus gangraped her by this statement. by Sec Lallu Lar on 20 Nov 2008

Well said. So many Hindus gangraped this Christian nun, in spite of a poor Hindu man of Dalit OBC category trying to save her. This saving person must be given God's love by all the Priests who were "taking care" of the nun before and after all the gangrapes to accept Joosus Kriste, Godd, and Holly Sprit and convert to true seclallularism of Christian, if not then at least to seclallularism of Islam. By the way, this nun should also go by her seclallular faith and say that only Joosus Kriste can save, the unbleiver comnunal Hindu who is supposed to save her is of course not the real saviour. Also, this guy must have come to interfere because all comnunal Hindus people are very jealous of other guys having fun, and must have tried to interfere only because he was jealous of the others who were enjoying gangrape, not because of any seclallular feeling to the nun. Seclallular feelings can take place only in noble Christian or brave Muslim, not in gangraping Hindu.

nun rape by jugaldas on 20 Nov 2008

i am hindu and oriya and am ashamed of the incident.rape is a crime against humanity and has no relation to one's domicile or religion.death of the seer Swami laxmananada is a serious loss for which i grieve.even he would not have approved the nun rape.gie exemplary punishment to the perpitrators of such crime against humanity.then only there is some hope for this nation

Very obiviously she was not rapped, by her statement by Sanjay on 20 Nov 2008

How can she be saved by Hindu man if she was raped?Obviously all a political stunt, because it says very directly she was saved which means she could not have been raped. If she was raped then what is the benefit of being saved, and the fact she did not follow procedures and get herself examined, when the church is well financed and politically powerful, means agains she was not raped. A political stunt by the church to divert attention to Swami's murder and aftermath. Further a raped victim will never say she was saved when she was raped it is contradicting, saved means she was not raped.Being saved means a very strong word for not being raped.

Sanjay,you must be lawyer !! by jac on 20 Nov 2008

Mr Sanjay Lawyer,,There is a difference between being Raped by on person in the mob, Molesssted by 2 more later and saved from being gangraped further.It takes courage for a victimised women to ask for justice for a Rape...not to mention a voilent mob about to gangrape her in full public view.It takes further courage to admit that there was a HINDU man who saved her from being subjected to gangrape by the very mob who claimed to be HINDUS.I hope this explains the fact...if not u are PACHVI FAIL and a born loser anyway.

Nun's rape by Muktiprakash on 20 Nov 2008

The Philosopher was right when he said that 'man was wolf to man'. We human beings can sometimes stoop very low. Religious persons are normally considered sacred and given the respect they deserve. Any violation committed on their person is gravely wrong. Hence the humiliation this poor nun was subjected to, deserves to be condemned. Let justice be given her. Justice delayed, is justice denied.

courageous sister by tukna on 19 Nov 2008

although i am very sad the way christians are treated in orissa. i am from orissa itself and feel deeply sad about those incident. it is more heartbreaking if innocent nun who actually work for the good of the society selflessly have been avenged by some minminded people. i think the court should take this matter at hand and deal with it with fairness. i really agree that not all hindus are alike, there are many who are my friends and very good. i hope this will help christians and hindus to live togather. afterall we are all brothers and sisters. i think we indians should be bighearted enough to accept christians as ours not some foreign things.thank you

Prayer by Rajendra Gupta on 19 Nov 2008

I pray to the Lord to give us the human beings - humanity today and that too equal to all, irrespective of gender , caste or creed .

Arrest this nun by da Punjabi on 19 Nov 2008

Arrest this Nun ASAP... She has played too much with the state. She has not gone under proper procedures. She tried to undermine the state authority which is different from Kandhmal district, and a district in which socialist xian terrorists killed a prominent hindu leader helping the tribals. This nun speaks English and is planted there to cause social disturbance. She is now delhi, so the church establishment can protect Political through Congress party of India. What rights to states have to arrest few people, when all the evidence to even hold a person guilty of rape has already been suppressed by not following the protcol of rape case. ARREST this NUN, and also bring on charges against church establishment in DELHI... Satyamev Jayte...

Will you do the same by Sumer Khan on 20 Nov 2008

Will you do and say the same if any of your female folk were gang raped. Shame on you for bringing in politics and religion when youhave to speak in humane voice...by using the name of Punabji Da, you have put all Punjabi down in your thoughtless statement...people like you worship godessess but meantime its an entertainment for you to read watch or support rapists...

shame on saffron organisations by real bharatiya on 19 Nov 2008

only cowrd of bajrang dal can do such mean acts like rape, killings of women, children, attack on waponless. Islam prohibits all such acts even in war situation.only one hindu guy who saved her must be not a member of cowrd organisation sangh parivar.

Islam prohibits by T. Jayaprakash on 20 Nov 2008

I have heard of several rape cases in Kashmir against Pundits.To stay within islamic law and achieve the same objective, one can marry a girl, rape her and then pronounce talaq.

mr. jp, read Quran, u will realise the beauty of Islam by real bharatiya on 20 Nov 2008

beta jp, hv u ever read beauty of Islam?I guarantee, once u read it, u will embress Islam.Rapes in Kashmiri pundit women must be done by army officer like purohit

No thanks by T.Jayaprakash on 20 Nov 2008

As of now I am happy.Thanks for the offer.Watching those who have read it, does not give me the courage.

DO NOT JUSTIFY CRIMINALS by J tharakan on 19 Nov 2008

Mr. Navneet, instead of appreciating the nun for telling a truth, you are trying to accuse her ! Can't u assume situation of a lady who is assaulted

nun's truth by rk on 19 Nov 2008

the very basis of all these investigations is that teh nun is telling truth. but what is the guarantee that she is?don't people lie under oath. and she is a human being . why did she have to go to orisaa to practise christianity. she could have done it in kerala. that means other factors like money are involved. when they can leave homestate for money. why can't they tell lies for money or for power?

village idiot by da Punjabi on 19 Nov 2008

Hey Village idiot, This nun has been Playing with state for past two month... She is delhi because church establishment can protect her false allegation of rape there better... ELM (English language media) obviously has long been corrupted and carries the sponsorship of colonial powers. ELM is strong in Delhi. She is not a Nun, she is a socialist xian terrorist..

It is time to stop all the tittle tattle. by Rudeboy on 19 Nov 2008

Now let this be a percursor to those demented demagogues and namby pambies, who are quick to villify good hindus with nonsence and fartious twaddle, with irrelevant and unsubstantiated tabs and allegations.The seudo seculars should now go and jump in the kala sewer to reddem their double speak and bad mouthing hindus. Let them know that good and pious hindus are the one who are ready to defend the honour and pride our true integrity and not the pretentious ones, who are cowards and ready to cver their thick hide by bad mouthing good hindu name, These ferals are all fake prankstars and chors,who hide behind the purdhas oa Alquaeda.We devout hindus do not need lectures from these weasels.

Dear Sister .... by NASINGH on 19 Nov 2008

Dear Sister (Nun), we Hindu's thank you for telling the truth. We Hindu's are normally good and decent people, but we admit the fact that the RSS, Bajrang Dal, VHP etc. are behaving like Al-Qaida likes. We have lost our patient with these jerks, because they claim to reprsent our Hindu Dharma where as they do not represent us, but criminals, who in our Hindu names are demolishing Mosque, burning Churches, raping and killing sister and mothers like you. We are ashamed of their dirty deeds. We Hindu promise to take grave action against these groups by banning them by law and by not giving our votes to them. These guys does not belong to our decent Hindu fold, but to a dustbin.

So you mean funding Madrasas and Haj is Hindu... by shallabh khera on 19 Nov 2008

I am sad NASINGH what do you know about RSS... Do you know RSS VHP fought for Jammu people sentiments recently.. Do you know they work against the so called casteism.... They fight when muslims butcher you...You will care about Graham staines who comes at missionary hindu conversion visa but not about 58 graham staines burnt alibe 3 lacs kashmiri panbdits becoming refugees... hindus killed converted in Bangladesh...Hindu temples demolished in russia and Hindu gods vilification in the Satya Prakash...Great after all anti-hindu is fad in india ohh the word secular means anti-hindu in India

You are really boring by Santosh Palekar on 20 Nov 2008

Rape of nun in Orissa by MOHAN DADDIKAR on 19 Nov 2008

As a Hindu, i was ashamed and felt guilty that a Nun was allegedly raped by a Hindu. But i am glad to learn from the nun herself that another Hindu has saved her from further humiliation. This only proves that criminals have no religion and they are a class in themerlves. and deserve to be punished severely as per law.

Hindu man saved me from gangrape: Orissa nun by Fiji on 19 Nov 2008

possibly there might be some thing that have forced the nun to change the statement now.some body might have threatened her to change the statement.

Nun' Gang rape? by navneet on 19 Nov 2008

Till now it was gang rape but now A Hindu saved her from gang rape. It is our Media who is spoiling our country's image. Few years back there was a similar case from Bombay where a nun was said to raped and after a long investigation it was found that it was untrue. Her unwillingness to identify the person's is also questionable. Two Priests in Kerala are arrested today for the rape and murder of sister Abhaya and i hope the media will give same importance to this news also as they have shown in this case. Now that her statements are changed,The Nun should be medically examined again by a team of doctors to find the truth .

character assassination by Ganesh on 19 Nov 2008

When the nun was playing hide and seek with the investigation process many Hindus had expressed doubt about the whole story. Now those who hogged the limelight from this incident have benfited and the black mark on the nationalist organisations like Bajrang Dal remains. No wonder even the British government consider Bajrang Dal as a patriotic outfit.

We Hindu's thank this person for saving this sister like nun. by DHARAMNAL on 19 Nov 2008

This story clearly indicates that we Hindu's are tried of the dirty deeds related to the VHP,RSS, bajrang dal etc.We Hindu's do not want these sorts to represent us or our decent and peace loving Dharma anywhere in the world. We sincerely do not want fanatics oe the likes of Al-Qaida to represnt us Hindu's. Thanks to the nun for being honest to tell that a Hindu man saved her from being gang raped. Thank to this person for saving her.

Lies and damn lies by Rudeboy on 19 Nov 2008

WE are sick off your balderdash and down right piffle.Pack in all these lies,decit and kala dhanda bazi and sod off to the land of taleban. No upright hindu with modicum of dignity will tolerate your buuls shite.

Abey oh Fakers Christian, dont you know that your Jesus considers lie a sin ? by Abhinav on 19 Nov 2008

Ok we have too many fake Hindus already who use weird names like "DHARAMNAL"That is not a correct name.You are a liar, and I as a Hindu support BJP RSS VHP BAJRANG DAL.Kindly explain to me why did Hindus vote for BJP RSS VHP BD in Gujarat,Karnataka, Himanchal,Uttaranchal Elections ?We will vote them to center and force you to stop your inducement based conversion drive.We will o what Shivaji did, sword in adharmi @ss.

Reply to abhinav by Sudheer on 20 Nov 2008

Did Shivaji or any of our great Hindu leaders advice rape of innocent hapless women? I too am a supporter of RSS, but cannot buy attrocities towards women. Thats cowardice.

Violence against a helpless nun by Kunal Singh on 19 Nov 2008

The BJP leaders are shedding tears, for Sadhvi and Purohit who organised the rape of innocent women in Orissa. It is now sure that the whole Orissa violence was preplanned by these people to create a Gujarat like situation, just for election gains. The high cast Land Lords never want the low cast untochables to come up.

ATS changing statements each day.. by shallabh on 19 Nov 2008

Nazarius by Leo on 19 Nov 2008

A few black sheep from all communities give the respective community a bad name. Otherwise, human beings, by and large, are decent people.

nun by Dr V.Prakasam on 19 Nov 2008

Rapists,terrorists,pirates and cheats have no creed but only greed.Nun is right in identifying the person who saved he.God will bless him.

nun is being raped by demented people ..even here..now by jac on 20 Nov 2008

its very sad but true that the thoughts of some fellow indians ( with various religious tags) are nothing but short of commiting rape on the hapless NUN ( read as people dedicated to the service of GOD).The creator only knows the truth and surely justice will be done ..if not here..surely up there.May god bless and give courage to all those opressed by demented people of states ruled by barbarians and elected by inhuman ,misguided low lives.
