Shirva Parish Priest Fr Denis Gets Harassment and Threat Calls, Files Complaint against 15 Persons
Udupi: In a fresh development the Parish Priest of Our Lady of Health Church Shirva Fr Denis D’Sa filed a complaint in the Shirva Police station after getting harassment and threat calls from 15 persons in regard to the suicide of Shirva Principal Fr Mahesh D’Souza.
According to the Shirva PSI, on November 3, Fr Denis filed a complainant in the Shirva Police Station against Sunil Cabral, Johnson Dolfred Castelino, Conrad Castelino, Peter Corda, Denis Mathias, Rayan Menezes, Kudthamajal, Rayan Menezes, Irmiz, Arthur Menezes, Leonard Wilfred Menezes, Anthony Menezes, Pilar, Clara Quadros, Sunitha Menezes, Leena D’Souza, Nikhil Mathias and Pratheeksha D,Souza,
Last month these above-mentioned persons had instigated the people of Shirva and held protests in the Church premises. They had also shouted slogans, used foul language and threatened Fr Denis with life.
In his complaint, Fr Denis has urged the police to take stern action against those who have harassed him and given life threats.
Fr Mahesh D’Souza, who was also the principal of Shirva Don Bosco CBSE School, was found dead in his chamber at the school in Shirva on October 11, 2019.
A case of unnatural death was registered at the Shirva police station. The above accused had instigated and held protests on November 2, 3 and 5.
A complaint filed on the threat calls purportedly made a month ago by 15 people, out of whom 4 are women? This smacks of sheer desperation. Good lord, the kind of advice lawyers give to their clients in order to muddy the waters.
There is still time. Let the leaders and eminent “social workers” rise to the challenge, bring the parties together and settle it amicably. What has happened to the bishop by the way? Why is he burying his head in the sand?
A spark neglected eventually will burn down the house.
