The All India Democratic Students' Organisation (AIDSO) on Wednesday held a protest against the alleged gang-rape of an elderly nun in Nadia district, which sent ripples of shock across the country.
The West Bengal Minorities Commission had earlier described the case as an 'implanted' incident, and added that it was done with the aim of vandalising a place of worship.
On Saturday, around a dozen suspected dacoits entered the Convent of Jesus and Mary and gang-raped the 72-year-old nun.
Eight people have been detained in connection with the case after police officials released CCTV footage of the perpetrators.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation across the country, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee assuring a thorough inquiry into the matter, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked for a report.
