NEW DELHI: Rajani Majhi, a 20-year-old Hindu, was gang-raped before being burnt alive by a mob at the church-run orphanage in Orissa's Bargarh district where she worked, says a senior priest. They mistook her for a Christian.
"I am willing to testify in any court of law," T.V Peter, procurator of the Sambalpur diocese in the western part of the state, said. The incident took place Aug 25 as anti-Christian violence engulfed the state.
"Some policemen and locals were witness to the atrocities by a mob led by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal at the orphanage in Padampur village in Bargarh district. I went to the spot immediately afterwards and spoke to the witnesses.
