Kerala: Aloor cops file case against Olympian Mayookha Johny, 9 others

THRISSUR: Aloor Police registered a case against Olympian Mayookha Johny and nine others after a criminal conspiracy complaint was filed by Sabu Sebastian, an associate of CC Johnson, who is accused by Mayookha of raping her friend.

Sebastian complained that office-bearers of ‘independent’ Catholic Church (Emperor Emmanuel Church) based at Muriyad near Chalakudy had hatched a conspiracy and fabricated documents to file a fake rape case against Johnson, a former church trustee.

Sabu claimed church’s office-bearers, including present chief Nisha Sebastian, forged evidence and made Mayookha hold a news conference about fake rape charges. She also alleged that Sabu had delivered a ‘threatening note’ with the neighbour of the victim as per the complaint filed before JFCM, Chalakudy.

Sabu’s advocate Syriac Varghese said several documents, including voice clips of conference calls and videos, were submitted in court to support the allegations of fabrication of evidence and criminal conspiracy against the office-bearers. He said that the magistrate has directed the police to register a case based on Sabu’s complaint.

Deputy SP (CB) Shaj Jose C, who is probing the case, said a detailed probe will be necessary and veracity of video and audio clips, submitted by the accused will be ascertained after a forensic analysis.
