Bhubaneswar, Oct. 16: The government has refused a nun’s demand for a CBI probe into her alleged rape saying the matter was sub-judice. “The matter is pending in the Supreme Court,” said chief minister Naveen Patnaik, when reporters sought his reaction on the nun’s demand. But he neither confirmed nor denied receiving a letter from the nun expressing her “lack of faith” on the state police and seeking a CBI probe in the case. Her demand was first reported in a news agency which quoted her stating she would be “happy” if the matter was handed over to the CBI. She had added that she would not like to “meet” the state police that remained a mute witness of her predicament. read more
