Shillong: The Salesian Sisters of Northern India have taken strong exception to the allegations that Charity Pariong, a Class V student of John Bosco School, Rambrai died after being beaten by her teacher, a nun.
Following the clarification from Dr Sushil Nongtrai who treated the deceased at Gordon Roberts Hospital, Jaiaw, wherein it was stated that Charity died of multiple infections, Sr. Rosa Pyngrope, in a press release, stated that the matter should have ended there.
Sr. Pyngrope further clarified that the nun who was alleged to have beaten Charity has not left the State as claimed by the media but is undergoing her scheduled updating course at Auxilium, Shillong.
“The long gap between the time that Charity got a mild reprimand from her teacher for forging her parents’ signature on the report card and the marks therein and the time when she was admitted at Gordon Robert’s hospital for multiple infection is proof enough that she died of a sickness and not from any kind of trauma,” Sr Puwein of Bellafonte Convent, told The Shillong Times on Saturday said.
