Police Team Closes Probe Into Catholic Retreat Center
11/4/08
Police have formally closed their probe into the activities of a popular Catholic retreat center in Kerala state, southern India. “We have wound up the investigation. Our job is over,” Vinson M. Paul, a senior police official who headed a special investigation team, told UCA News on April 9. He had submitted his team’s report to the Kerala High Court two days earlier. On March 11, the Indian Supreme Court directed the team to end its probe into activities of the Vincentian-run Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor, a village near Trichur in Kerala, 2,565 kilometers south of New Delhi. The investigation team began the probe a year earlier under direction from the Kerala High Court, the state’s top judicial authority.
