	Bail Application of Temple Priest Rejected Press Trust of India November 24, 2009 http://www.ptinews.com/news/391217_Bail-application-of-temple-priest-rejected Kancheepuram, Nov 24 (PTI) A local court here has rejected the bail application of a temple priest, who was arrested last week for allegedly being involved in immoral activities in the precincts of the temple. The prosecution, however, told Judicial Magistrate G Sudha yesterday that the accused did not cooperate with them and that police were not able to elicit information on the women allegedly involved. It was important that he remained in judicial custody till questioning was over, the prosecution said. The defence counsel for 39-year-old priest Devanathan submitted that a CD, with purported contents of the priest's alleged acts given to police, was handed over to the court only after two months, leading to doubts that it might have been doctored and was undependable as evidence.
