Irish aid worker raped in India

Police in India have arrested a hotel management graduate who is alleged to have raped a young Irish woman working in Calcutta for a charity founded by Mother Teresa.

The 21-year-old joined the Missionaries of Charity only a couple of weeks ago after working for the Edith Wilkins Street Children Foundation in nearby Darjeeling.

Ms Wilkins said she had twice been in contact with the victim, who she declined to identify.
