HC orders FIR in activist Catholic priest’s death case 

The Bombay High Court bench in Panaji on April 11 directed the Crime Branch of Goa Police to file an FIR in connection with the mysterious death of a former Roman Catholic priest Bismarque Dias.

The Crime Branch has also been asked to submit a status report of the investigation every three months to the court. Dias, who was protesting against rampant and reportedly illegal real estate development near his village of St Estevam, 15 km from Panaji, was found dead in a water body near the Mandovi river in November 2015.
