Father Swamy’s confreres condemn ‘fabricated’ charges against him

The Jesuit congregation is hopeful that the case against 83-year-old Father Stan Swamy will be shattered in the court, as there is no evidence to establish that he was in some way connected with the violence against Dalits at Bhima Koregaon.
The imprisoned priest’s close associate, Fr Joseph Xavier, alleges that Swamy hasn’t visited Pune for the last 15 years. Fr Swamy, a member of the Jesuit’s Jamshedpur province, was on October 8 arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), India’s counter-terror task force for his alleged links with Maoists.
