Two more Kerala priests, accused of sexually abusing a woman, surrendered before police today, officials said. Fr Abraham Varghese alias Sony surrendered before a court at Thiruvalla while Fr Jaise K George at the crime branch office in Kollam this morning, the police said. The clergymen surrendered after the Supreme Court cancelled their interim protection from the arrest and asked them to surrender by today.

A bench of Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan had said the two priests were at liberty to seek regular bail once they surrendered.
The two had moved the apex court seeking anticipatory bail in the case after their plea was rejected by the Kerala High Court on July 11. Two other priests accused in the case - Fr Job Mathew and Johnson V Mathew - had already surrendered before the police and granted bail by the high court.
