BANGALORE: The Karnataka Kannada Priests’ Association has condemned the investigation into the murder of Fr KJ Thomas. Members of the association on Saturday termed as “false, fabricated, conspired and framed” the investigation into the priest’s murder. It criticized home minister KJ George and Archbishop Bernard Moras of pressurizing the police to nab innocent priests.
The members demanded a CBI inquiry into the murder, which happened 11 months ago at Yeshwantpur seminary, saying the minister and the archbishop were protecting the culprits. Three innocent men (two priests and an altar boy) were nabbed to close the case, they alleged.
“George and the archbishop have made every effort to derail the investigation. We demand the state government stops the archbishop from flying abroad. His tickets are booked for Sunday night (March 24); he should resign from the post until the investigations are over,” they said.
