The victim along with another nun tried to thwart the robbery attempt on the premises of the Convent. However, the dacoits tied up the other nun and raped the victim in front of her. They also escaped with over Rs. 10 lakh in cash.

The Commission has observed that if the report of rape is true, it amounts to serious violation of human rights of the victim. It has given two weeks to the West Bengal government to submit its report.
