BHUBANESWAR: The catholic nun, allegedly raped during the Kandhamal riots, on Tuesday identified a third person in an identification parade and a charge sheet is now likely to be filed against the three people.
Seventy persons were today produced at the second Test Identification Parade (TIP) held at Choudwar jail in Cuttack, official sources said.
Earlier during the first TIP on January 5, the nun had identified two persons, they said.
"With identification of three persons, police will now file charge sheet against them," a senior crime branch official said, indicating that its search for accused persons had ended as all the three persons allegedly involved in the incident had been identified by the victim.
The nun was forcibly taken to a room where she was allegedly raped during Orissa bandh in the aftermath of VHP leader Laxmanananda Saraswati's killing on August 23 last year.
While one person actually raped her, two others helped the rapist, the official said, adding the second TIP was held almost six months after the first TIP following the arrest of seven more persons during the period.
