Kochi: Thanks to intervention of information commission’s direction, RTI applicant Advocate Binu received the investigation report submitted by IG Vincent M Paul about the atrocities committed by Christian Conversion centre in Muringoor to Kerala Government. Earlier Home Ministry had rejected the request citing it as a secret file.

Following are the highlights of the report

notorious centre.

g)Father Mathew Thadathil was found trying to procure foreign contribution to the tune of 20 lakhs through Hawala.

SIT Recommendations

As the activities undergoing there are highly suspicious a thorough probe is needed. As it is evident that the authorities were hiding many facts while questioning and considering their lack of co-operation – Narco Analysis needs to be conducted.

No Follow up

Though the supreme court dismissed this case in a technical note that, The case was registered based on an anonymous complaint, Kerala Home Ministry still can follow up this case based on the recommendations of Special Investigation Team.

As in the case of Jihadi Terrorism and Abdul Nasser Madni cases, CPM had special political interest in this case as well. Pinarai Vijayan – had even visited there to give them a clean chit and vouched that ‘Healing is possible through Prayers”. Not only CPM Christian leaders from Opposition like Umman Chandi and K M Mani too have personal interest in protecting this conversion centre.

Even after confirmed reports about nearly 1000 unreported death/murder our law and order and secular society is maintaining a deadly silence over this.
