DNA Test Confirms Kerala Priest Fathered Infant of Minor Girl

Father Robin Vadakkumchery, who was arrested for raping and impregnating a minor girl in Kottiyoor of Kannur, is the biological father of the infant, DNA tests have reportedly proved.

The DNA test was conducted at the Forensic laboratory of Thiruvananthapuram, after police found that the survivor and her family had shifted the infant to an orphanage in



Wayanad immediately after the delivery. DNA samples of the child, Robin and the infant's mother were tested.

The priest was arrested three weeks after the delivery on 28 February.

Police say that more details can be given only after they receive the DNA results.

But they have confirmed to press that the results prove that the priest is the father.
