Kolkata - Police arrested two suspects on Thursday in the gang rape of an elderly nun in a Catholic missionary school this month in a crime that focused attention on the scourge of sexual violence in India despite tough anti-rape laws introduced two years ago.
The suspects were arrested after a nationwide hunt, one of them was found hiding in the western city of Mumbai and the second from West Bengal state, said a police officer said who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to talk to reporters.
The nun, in her 70s, was hospitalised in serious condition. She has since recovered and left the hospital.
