A priest has accused the archbishop of Bhopal of trying to poison him either to make him mentally unstable or to kill him because he threatened to expose an alleged sex scandal and financial irregularities in the archdiocese.
A magisterial court has registered a case against archbishop Leo Cornelio and two other Catholic Church leaders on a private complaint from Fr Anand Muttungal, the former public relations officer of Madhya Pradesh. CJFM Alok Mishra has ordered that Cornelio be produced before him on March 1. The court will weigh evidence before deciding to order a police probe. If convicted, the accused could face up to 10 years in jail.
