The medical report in the Kandhamal nun ‘rape’ case that was prepared by the Baliguda sub-divisional hospital doctor Sangita Mishra came under sharp criticism at the trial court here on Thursday when the defence lawyers questioned its veracity.
“How come a doctor could examine a rape victim on August 25, 2008 when the requisition for the same came two months after on October 1, 2008”, the defence lawyers asked the doctor who recorded her statements before the trial court.
The doctor however, told the court that she had examined the victim as per the order of requisition that was made two months after the incident. While the deposition of the doctor remained inconclusive on the day, the defence lawyers felt that the entire allegation of ‘rape’ of the nun was an afterthought to malign the State and the documents in support of it by the prosecution are “fake and fabricated”.
“The entire game plan of the prosecution to build up a sensational case out of a non-issue is now getting exposed and more such revealing facts would come out after the deposition of the nun,” informed the defence counsel Ajit Kumar Patnaik.
Besides the doctor, the local project administrator of Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Suresh Chandra Suanr, who was also appointed as a Magistrate during the communal violence also deposed before the court on the day.
In a startling disclosure, the Magistrate who was present during the recording of the statement of the victim at the local police station said that the nun had complained about someone sitting on her thigh when the mob assaulted her and the priest of the
church.
Similarly another witness, Subash Digal told the trial court that some people among the mob had actually escorted the nun and the priest to the nearby police station when they were attacked by another group from the mob.
The witness could identify only one Mitu Patnaik from among the accused produced in the court on the day.
