Mangalore Diocese seeks probe into Indian nurse death

December 11, 2012 00:41

The Mangalore diocese today urged the Centre to prevail on authorities in London to thoroughly investigate the mysterious death of Indian-origin nurse Jacintha Saldhana in that country.

Monsignor Denis Moras Prabhu, Vicar general of the diocese, told reporters here they have urged External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily and former minister Oscar Fernandez to pressurise authorities in London to investigate the case thoroughly.

"London police have not allowed Jacintha's husband to make a telephone call and her mortal remains were not shown to him or the children. Government of India must look into this matter seriously," he said.
