SHOCKING

Father Cyprian Pinto has been arrested in Mangaluru over allegations of sexually abusing 5 minor boys.

A POCSO case has been registered under Sections 8 and 10 of the Act. Police say the case came to light after one boy spoke to his friends and discovered that four others had faced similar abuse.

The Mysuru-based NGO Odanadi intervened after complaints reportedly went unaddressed. Pinto has been remanded to judicial custody.
