Aizawl, Aug 25 : The Mizoram government would soon submit an application to the CBI to investigate the mysterious death of Rev Chanchinmawia, former moderator of the Presbyterian Church Synod, state Home department sources said here on Monday.
State Deputy Home Secretary Romawia left Aizawl on Monday for Delhi with necessary papers to meet the CBI top officials, the sources said.
Earlier, the council of ministers decided to hand over the case to the CBI and state Home Minister Tawnluia sanctioned the probe by the agency.
Rev Chanchinmawia’s body, with several injuries caused by a sharp and pointed weapon, was found at his Khatla Pastor’s official residence on the morning of October one last.
A special investigation team of the state police after launching full investigations, concluded that the priest’s death was not due to homicide but a “suicide” and the final report was accepted by a district court.
Public outcry and the church’s contention that the pastor did not commit suicide prompted the government to re-investigate the case and hand it over to the CBI.
