Orissa suspends 5 policemen in nun rape case

Special Correspondent

BHUBANESWAR: The Naveen Patnaik government on Friday suspended five policemen for not coming to the rescue of the Catholic nun who was attacked by a mob and raped in Kandhamal district of Orissa during the anti-Christian violence.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik ordered for the suspension by acting upon a report submitted by the District Collector and Superintendent of Police of Kandhamal district.

Mr. Patnaik had sought a report from the officials after the nun recently told journalists in New Delhi that the policemen deployed in the locality had failed to protect her from the attackers.

According to the Chief Minister’s Office, the five policemen who were placed under suspension are Assistant Sub-Inspector Rasananda Mallick, Havildar Major K.N. Mohapatra, Havildar S.K. Hamim and Havildar J.S. Khan and Havildar B.K. Mohanty.
