A nun in her 70s was gang-raped by a group of bandits when she tried to prevent them from committing a robbery in a Christian missionary school in eastern India, police say.
The attack early on Saturday is the latest crime to focus attention on the scourge of sexual violence in India.
A police officer said the nun was hospitalised in serious condition after the attack, which was committed by seven to eight robbers at the Convent of Jesus and Mary School in West Bengal state's Nadia district.
The officer said police are searching for the bandits, who escaped with some cash, a mobile phone, a laptop computer and a camera belonging to the school.
