Summary:
Parish priest T Nicholas was gheraoed by the group alleging he had facilitated burial of Midhun Markose without informing the parish council. Midhun’s body was buried a few years ago at the cemetery of Madre-de-Deus Church, Vettucaud. "The priest agreed to the request after taking Rs 3 lakh as donation to the church corpus. We asked why the mortal remains were interred at the cemetery late in the night,” said Jerone. The church officials too denied the allegation and said all the conditions and rules were met before transferring Midhun’s mortal remains to Pattoor..
