India's Supreme Court rejected bail for a Missionaries of Charity nun arrested nearly seven months ago on suspicion of child trafficking.
Ucanews.com reported the top court turned down the plea from Missionaries of Charity Sister Concilia on January 29 on grounds that police had not yet pressed charges in the case. However, the court left the door open for her to file another application and also told the police to file formal charges soon.
On July 5, Sister Concilia, who headed the Nirmal Hriday (tender heart) home for unmarried mothers in Jharkhand' s state capital, Ranchi, initially was remanded in judicial custody for 14 days.
