Finally Truth is out – Father Thomas Kottoor is the main culprit behind controversial Abhaya Rape cum Murder Case. The CBI report submitted the investigation report infront of Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate after subjecting the four suspects under Narco Analysis Test

Narco Analysis Test is a test carried out  by the Forensic lab. It was through this test that the CBI got valuable evidences relating to Abhaya murder case.

The interim report of the Delhi Crime Unit of CBI says the final report will be submitted on June 4. The sources from CBI say that the defendants and the officers, who spoiled significant clues, including police officers, may be arrested after submitting the final report.

Father Thomas Kottoor is at present the Chancellor of Kottayam Diocese. CBI report shed light into illicit dealings happening in Convents and the role of Fathers like Thomas Kottoor in exploiting sisters to satisfy their sexual needs. A Nun who underwent Narco analysis tests is also involved in the murder.

Media activism which we witnessed in past few days to tarnish Hinduism in Santhosh Madhavan case is evidently not at all seen among our Medias to pen down the fact that their ‘Revered Priest’ is involved in this rape cum Murder of a Pre Degree Student Sister Abhaya
 

The Manorama News channel,Manorama News Paper and Mangalam News paper were celebrating the Santhosh Madhavan case by projecting his so called 'SWAMI' image.They also serialised features on false swamis in Kerala.I agree that journalists should expose all anti-social activities and individuals.

But when it comes to the Abhaya case these media houses are reluctant to even name the culprit of the case.But they took great pains to publish that Narco analysis cannot be taken as an evidence by citing history of various cases.The Kottayam Athirupatha(ATHI RUPA THA?)has immediately come up with a statement that a section of the media is trying to propagate false stories to divert attention from a certain news.

I think the real journalists committed to the society's well being would realise this double standards and expose this dangerous trend in their field.The credibility of journalists in Kerala are at stake.

The minority communities are well organised and politically and economically powerful.The leaders of these communities swings into action when any community member is in difficulty.But the majority community is totally disorganised and are at the mercy of others.So it is the duty of the intellectuals, journalists,writers and politicians to come to the rescue of this orphans who have no one to seek help and support.

Even the young members of minority communities should realise how the majority community had always stood for their rights even by giving their own life.Now you have to pay that debt back.Now the Majority community in Kerala is being insulted everyday and being deprived of a decent and peaceful life.

Even as the High Court doubts the credibility of the Central Bureau of Investigation into the murder of Catholic nun Abhaya 16 years ago, the public interest litigant who supposedly tried to expose the culprits has come under the Court’s scanner.

Justice V Ram Kumar yesterday directed the State police chief to constitute special investigation against the litigant, Jomon Puthenpurackal, and submit a report within six months about his sources of income, whether criminal charges were pending against him and whether he had been behind the nun’s case for personal gains.

Justice Ram Kumar also dismissed with costs a petition filed by the litigant seeking further investigation into the CBI report on the narco analysis conducted on two priests and a nun in the Abhaya murder case. He wanted the court to compare the narco analysis reports filed at the High Court and before the Chief Judicial Magistrate.

The High Court meanwhile deferred a CBI petition seeking three days to file its explanation on the judge’s query whether it was hiding facts regarding the narco analysis reports. The judge’s remarks came after he went through the report by the chief of the Forensic Sciences Lab at Bangalore regarding the narco analysis CDs on two priests and a nun.

There has been some confusion regarding the number of the narco CDs. While the CBI maintained there was only one CD of any consequence, the Court refused to believe it.
Now, with the Forensic lab pointing out that compressing three narco CDs into one CD was technically impossible, the Court expressed its doubts on the CBI stand on the CD.
What had gone against Jomon Puthenpurackal were earlier strictures against by a Chief Judicial Magistrate and the petition by Aikkarakunnel Thomas, the father of the nun, questioning his interest in the case.

Thomas counsel brought to the attention of the Court the instance of Jomon Puthenpurackal neglecting his own father and sending him to an old age home. Puthenpurackal Kuriakose, Jomon’s father, had said the other day that his son, who espoused others’ human rights, didn’t have the time to take care of him.
Kuriakose had to leave his own house and seek shelter at the old age home after he had divided his property among his sons.
 

Thiruvananthapuram: The Sister Abhaya case took a new turn on Tuesday with the chief judicial magistrate court in Thiruvananthapuram finding that the worksheet of the chemical examination report on samples from Abhaya's body was 'corrected'.

Magistrate S Soman registered a case against chief chemical examiner R Geeta and chemical analysist, who conducted the test, on charges of "deliberately making correction in the worksheet."

The court seized the workbook from the Chemical Examiner's Laboratory in Thiruvananthapuram on April 17 and sent it for forensic examination to the National Forensic Science Laboratory, Hyderabad. The National Forensic Science Laboratory in its report stated that the worksheet had been corrected.

Sister Abhaya's body was found in the well of St Pius Convent at Kottayam on March 27, 1992. The case had taken several twists and turns with the state police first closing the case as suicide. The CBI is now investigating the case.

The case re-surfaced again in the magistrate court after reports stated that the chemical examination report had been tampered with to establish that the nun had not been tortured.

A PTI news report

Sixteen years after Sister Abhaya was murdered and her body dumped in the well of a Kerala convent, the CBI on Wednesday arrested two 
Catholic priests and a nun in the case.

The CBI, which has been under pressure to act after 16 years of inactivity in the case, arrested father Jose Putarika, 56, a former Malayalam professor at the Kottayam college where Abhaya studied, and Thomas Kottor, 61, the Diocesan chancellor of the Catholic Church at Kottayam for the murder which took place in 1992. The investigating agency also arrested 45-year-old Sister Seffi, who belonged to the same convent as Abhaya.

The Church, however, sprang to the defence of the priests arrested by the CBI. The Kottayam Diocese of the Church said the latest developments was suspicious.

“In 16 years of investigation, various teams looked into the case and could not find anything,” a Church press release stated, adding that it was “surprising that in four days the team got clues leading to the arrests. The arrested are innocent and if a proper investigation is initiated then the real truth would come out.”

The three accused were produced before a Kerala court where their bail plea was turned down. The court also turned down the demand that they be questioned in the presence of their counsel.

The three have been under the scanner for a long time and were even subjected to a narco analysis and polygraph tests last year.

Abhaya, a resident of Pious X Hostel, was murdered and her body dumped in the well of the Kottayam convent on March 27, 1992. She was a second year pre-degree student in BCM college, which belonged to the diocese of Kottayam.

In November, 1996, the CBI came to the conclusion that it was murder. However, it failed to arrest the accused. Till now 13 CBI teams have investigated the case. And 12 earlier teams were unable to take the case forward. CBI joint director Ashok Kumar said the case would be taken to its logical conclusion within 30 days.

The Kerala High Court had taken over the monitoring of the investigation of the Sister Abhaya case in 1993 and has been highly critical of the CBI investigations. The court had rejected three closure reports filed by the CBI. On September 4 this year, the court had directed the CBI Delhi unit to hand over the probe to its Kochi unit.
