THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: As a Crime Branch inquiry was ordered on Wednesday into the suicide by a nun in Kollam allegedly due to sexual harassment by a senior nun, father of the deceased met Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan seeking a detailed probe into the incident.
State DGP Raman Sreevastava ordered a crime branch probe into the incident, official sources said.
The 23-year-old Anupa Mary was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her room in the St Mary's Convent in Kollam yesterday. A note left by her said she was taking the extreme step as she could no longer bear the harassment.
Mary's father Pappachan, who had alleged that his daughter was harassed by a senior nun in the convent, met the Chief Minister here this morning.
Achuthanandan assured him that the government would take necessary steps in the case, the sources said.
Meanwhile, the Kollam diocese also ordered an "inhouse inquiry" into the incident, church sources said.
Mary, a teacher in a Lower Primary school run by the St Mary's Convent Holy Cross Order, hailed from a poor family in nearby Kanjiramkode.
She had joined St Mary's convent two months ago on taking the vow of nunhood. Earlier, she was attached to another convent in the city.
<b>A recent suggestion by the Kerala State Women's Commission on age-bar for enrolment of the girls as nuns had triggered protests from various Christian organisations in the state.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Turns out she was sexually harrassed by a *gang* of nuns, led by a highplaced ringleader: the "mother superior". <- Very superior in christian terms.

<b>Gory stories of convent deaths
Then Sister Abhaya; now Sister Anupa Mary</b>
By S. Chandrasekhar
[...]
Sister Anupa Mary (22) who joined St. Maryâs convent in Port Kollam on May 27 was found hanging from the ceiling of her room in the convent on August 11 at 4 AM. Her Father Pappachan was a cook in the Bishopâs House at Kollam and she was promised medical education along with her nunnery.
<b>Her father has alleged that his daughter was physically, mentally and sexually tortured by the other sisters of the convent, especially the Mother Superior. He said Anupa Mary was asked to wash the undergarments of other nuns, clean their toilets and do all menial jobs. He also alleged that his daughter was not allowed to close the doors of her room at night and the nuns used to come to her room and sexually abuse her. The sister in her suicide note, has put the blame on the Mother Superior and other sisters for her suicide.</b>
Following all round political and public outcry the Government has ordered crime branch enquiry by IG Harinath Mishra.
An unnatural event in suicide cases, the cloth used for suicide was cut and the sisterâs body placed in the cot, before police arrival. Also valuable evidences in investigations have been destroyed. Moreover media reports say that the unnatural deaths of several sisters in convents of Kerala, for the past three to four decades have been buried, no questions asked.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Disgusting.
Christianism is an ideology that instills and encourages sexual predatory behaviour: in their priests, nuns, regular adherents. The same pattern repeating over and over. Aren't the christian victims sick of this already: being murdered by other christians? Don't christians want to be free of all the terrorism? They can escape it. Join a Natural Tradition, rejoin humanity. Live.
Abusive nuns, eh? Somewhat reminiscent of the Magdalene Laundries.
