A court in Kolkata on Wednesday sentenced Nazrul Islam – the 28-year-old Bangladeshi man convicted of raping an elderly nun at a school in West Bengal’s Ranaghat in 2015 – to life in jail, ANI reported.

The court sentenced his five accomplices, held guilty of conspiracy and robbery, to 10 years imprisonment.

On March 14, 2015, the men broke into a school in the town of Ranaghat, looted the church, desecrated the idols and attacked the 71-year-old nun who tried to stop them.

Islam was arrested after the nun identified him from a line-up of suspects. Investigators identified and arrested the others – Milan Kumar Sarkar, Ohidul Islam, Mohd Selim Sheikh, Khaledar Rahman and Gopal Sarkar – using CCTV footage.
