Abhaya murder case: Two Kerala priests held
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Two Catholic priests have been arrested for the 1992 murder of a nun, Sister Abhaya, whose body was found in the well of a convent in Kerala's Kottayam town, police here said Wednesday.
The 13th Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team began its probe into the 16-year-old murder after 12 previous probes failed to crack the case.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
CBI officer (a Christian) was hounded out of his career for doing the right thing.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->âIn December 1993, as the investigating officer of the case, I wrote in the CBIâs case diary that Sister Abhaya was killed and it was not a case of murder. I clearly made it clear that the murder could not take place without the support of Sister Sephi. My findings have been proved right after 15 years," he said. He had been forced to take voluntary retirement for his unrelenting stand during the probe that provoked the powers-that-be who were part of the politician-church coterie.
He admitted that the CBI probe was diverted from the path of truth when unnecessary pressure was exerted by the power centres to scuttle the fair probe.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Has anyone seen FIACONA or John Dayal raising international petitions in past 16 years for Sister Abhaya?
