Bhopal: A trial court has registered a case against three officials – Archbishop and two senior priests – of the Archdiocese of Bhopal for allegedly indulging in a conspiracy to administer poisonous substance to a priest.
The case is registered against Archbishop of Bhopal Archdiocese Leo Cornelio, his Vicar General Father Mathew V C and diocesan spokesperson Father Johny PJ after taking cognizance of a complaint filed by former spokesperson of the diocese Father Anand Muttungal.
The priest in his complaint alleged that the top officials of the diocese were annoyed with him for questioning alleged misappropriation of fund from the diocesan society. Besides this, he had also moved the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking direction to punish those involved in it.
Last week on Thursday, judicial magistrate first class Alok Mishra has order to register a case against the accused. However, the court has posted its next hearing for March 1.
