Father Christudas was beaten up and made to walk naked for over three hours
The National Commission for Minorities has sought a 'fair inquiry' into the stripping of a Catholic priest by a mob and police officials in south Bihar's Dumka town on September 2.
He was allegedly beaten up and paraded naked all the way from the school to the town -- about eight kilometres -- by a mob. Later, he was stripped again in police custody after being charged for 'sexual abuse' of a class VII boy. he was paraded naked through Dumka by a mob acting in complicity with local officials.
"With his clothes stripped off ... Father Christudas was beaten up and made to walk naked for over three hours even as senior police officials encouraged the mob," John Dayal, a member of the National Minority Commission investigation team, told the crowd. Worse still, Dayal said, the officials had "no regrets" about their actions when a federal inquiry commission met them in mid-September. "Even an animal welfare society would not tolerate this kind of treatment for an animal," Dayal added
