Abhaya case:CBI fails to submit chargesheet
Thiruvananthapuram, Friday 19 June 2009: Even after arresting two priests and one nun in connection with the Abhaya case, the CBI has not been able to present the chargesheet. The three had been arrested on grounds that there were clear evidences against them. They were kept in the custody for 42 days.
Although there were laid down rules that an accused should be arrested only after collecting valid evidences against him and the charge sheet should be presented within 90 days from the day of arrest, none of this rule has been followed in this case.
The delay from the part of the CBI to submit a chargesheet validates the allegation that the arrest was done not on evidences but on some other intentions.
The church has cooperated with all kinds of investigation undertaken in this case all these years by various agencies. But still no agency could bring out anything other than mere speculations and the church sees the entire ordeal as plan to tarnish the image of the church in public.
