In a recent development in the case involving Pastor Dominic D’Souza of Siolim’s Five Pillar Church, the Mapusa JMFC Court has granted him conditional bail today. The pastor was initially arrested on charges of alleged involvement in black magic and religious conversion activities, following a complaint by Vadivel B, a resident of Tamil Nadu presently living in Curti-Ponda.
Earlier this week, the JMFC, Mapusa, had extended Pastor D’Souza’s police custody by a day. The accused, who had complained of chest pain, was discharged from North District Hospital, Mapusa, and presented before the court as his two-day custody period concluded. On Tuesday, the court had reserved its decision on the bail plea, and the pastor’s custody was extended for an additional day.
The unfolding events continue to capture attention, with the community keenly following the legal proceedings surrounding the allegations against Pastor Dominic D’Souza.
