In its first major breakthrough, West Bengal Police on Thursday arrested two people in connection with the March 14 gang-rape of a nun inside a convent in Ranaghat, an officer said. A Criminal Investigation Department (CID) team of the state police nabbed a Bangladeshi man, Mohammed Salim Sheikh, from a Mumbai slum in the early hours with the help of the Mumbai crime branch.
CID Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Dilip Kumar Adak said that another person Gopal Sarkar has been arrested from Habra in North 24 Parganas district for harbouring the gang of bandits, who committed the crime inside the convent. The 71-year-old sister superior of the Convent of Jesus and Mary was brutalised by the dacoits in Nadia disrtict’s Ranaghat, some 80 km from Kolkata. In the aftermath of the incident, police had circulated images of the suspects captured on the CCTV cameras installed in the convent. But Adak said Sheikh was not among the suspects whose image was captured on CCTV.
