An Indian bishop has said a 71-year-old nun who was the victim of a gang rape has forgiven her attackers.
Bishop Joseph Gomes of Krishnagar, who visited the nun in hospital on Monday, added: “She told me that ‘justice should be done’.”
“This should be never be repeated or happen to anyone else.”
The attack took place after a group of masked men broke into the Jesus and Mary Congregation convent in Ranaghat, about 60 kms from Kolkata, last Friday night.
Ten suspects are currently being detained in connection with incident.
Demonstrations have taken place throughout India calling on authorities to hasten their investigation.
