Jhabua nuns rape case
The Jhabua nuns rape case is a case of alleged rape of four nuns in the Jhabua district in Madhya Pradesh in India in 1998 by a group of 24 tribals.
A Jhabua court issued a warrant against Digvijay Singh then state chief minister and 14 others for alleged remarks on the 1998 Jhabua nuns rape case accusing Hindu organisations of being involved in the incident, following a civil defamation suit filed by a local lawyer.[1] A Bhopal court cancelled the warrant after Digvijay appeared and furnished a surety bond for Rs. 5,000.[2][3] Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharathi later commented on some people’s attempts to give a communal color to the incident, saying it was ironical that 12 of those who raped the Christian nuns were themselves tribal Christians.[4]
This case finds a mention in Arun Shourie's book, Harvesting our Souls where the author claims that it is a false allegation to malign Hindus.
