Palai: Bishop Joseph Kallarangatt of Palai has issued a circular, warning families about “fraudsters” who allegedly trap girls and young women.
In an August 28 circular, the bishop told parish priests that the “fraudsters” call local body representatives disguising as former priests. They then claim that they are living abroad and seek papers of girls studying there to get their feedback on certain topics.
In case of suspicion over voice modulation, the caller allegedly blames it on the “cold due to weather in the foreign country.”
The bishop asked the parish priests to make families aware of such callers. Sources close to the Palai diocese said that the bishop has issued such a circular after some incidents were reported.
