Church in India Under Attack: Orissa police to invoke Section 160 CrPC on nun who was raped

The Orissa police is contemplating invoking Section 160 of Criminal Procedure Code to force the allged rape victim nun to cooperate with the police, official sources said on Friday.

The state government, which was happy with the Supreme Court which refused to order a CBI probe into the case, was surprised at the nun's media conference in Delhi where she reiterated her lack of faith in Orissa police and said she will not like to be further harassed.

According to the section 160 of CrPC, any police officer making an investigation can order a person to appear before him and the person has to follow the order.
