Court orders probe into bishop’s death

A court in Madhya Pradesh on May 11 ordered a police probe into a Catholic bishop’s death in a road accident almost four months ago. Judicial Magistrate First Class Nidhi Neelesh Shrivastava, Pohari, district Shivpuri has directed the police to investigate the circumstances that led to the death of Bishop Thomas Thennatt of Gwalior and submit its report within a month. The court order came following a laywoman’s petition saying that she suspected foul play in the bishop’s death. The woman, Dolly Theresa, alleged the diocesan authorities have restrained her from receiving Holy Communion from all churches in the diocese after she filed the petition.
