Bangladeshi man jailed for raping Indian nun

    A Bangladeshi man has been jailed for life after being convicted of raping a nun in India.

    Nazrul Islam was found guilty of rape and attempted murder at a court in Kolkata.

    In March 2015 a group of men stole cash and various other items from a convent, when Nazrul Islam assaulted a 71-year-old nun. She required surgery after the incident.

    Five other men were jailed for 10 years for robbery and another was handed a seven-year term for harbouring the attackers.
