The alleged 30 -year-old Christian priest is from Marthandam near Nagercoil in the Kanyakumari district. He is associated with various political groups, including Naam Tamilar Katchi Seeman (NTK). One of the pictures on social media shows he was standing with NTK leader Seeman alias Sebastian, banned Pro LTTE supporter and self-proclaimed Tamil chauvinist.

 

It is believed that the videos were put on social media by a group of people who attacked him a few days earlier and took away his laptop.

 

A Preliminary investigation by the police reveals the people who attacked the priest and stole the laptop belonged to Kollankodu. They are searching for them to get further details. It is alleged that he had enticed and lured girls who came to the church to pray or to give confessions to satiate his sexual need. 

 

Anto has been accused of being a sexual predator, who would send obscene messages and also kiss and touch women inappropriately. He would then force these women to keep quiet by threatening to release their intimate videos.

 

A lady Mini Ajitha has complained to the police saying that Anto had filed a false case against her son Austin Gino because he had dared to confront him for harassing his female friend, who is a medical student.
