Mangalore Today News Network

Kolkata, June 18, 2015: A 28-year-old Bangladeshi, one of the main accused in the gangrape of a septuagenarian nun at a Ranaghat convent school in West Bengal’s Nadia district, has been arrested from Sealdah railway station here.

Nazrul aka Nazu was arrested from Sealdah station in West Bengal while he was getting down from a local train late on Wednesday evening, SS CID Chittaranjan Nag said on Thursday, PTI reported.

"Our sources informed us that Nazrul was trying to reach Kolkata. Working on the tip-off, our officers were waiting for him at Sealdah station and caught him when he was getting down from Bongaon local (suburban train)," Nag said.

Asked where he was hiding since the crime took place in March, Nag said, "He was hiding somewhere in the border areas of Bangladesh. Probably after he was chased by the police there, he sneaked past the border to get into India. He was trying to flee somewhere." Nazrul would be produced at the Ranaghat court.

So far, six people have been arrested for their involvement in the case, the police said.

The septuagenarian Christian convent teacher was allegedly gangraped by a group of about 12 armed goons after she tried to prevent a robbery attempt by them. The elderly nun was admitted to a hospital in Ranaghat and was later discharged on March 20.
