A recently publicized medical report supports the claim of a Catholic nun who said she was raped and then paraded naked in an anti-Christian attack by a Hindu mob in August in eastern India.
"The doctors say there are signs and symptoms of rape," said police inspector K.N. Rao, adding that he had not read the entire medical report.
Friday news reports said the medical report had confirmed the rape, the Canadian Press says.
Doctors conducted the medical examination after the nun filed the complaint on August 25, but the police said that they did not receive the report until this past Thursday. Inspector Rao instead pointed his finger at the doctors, but they insisted that the police didn’t respond to a reminder to collect the medical report.
