PIRAVAM: Tension has built up at Piravam church, where row exists between Orthodox and Jacobite believers. As a huge posse of police arrived in the Piravam church to take over the church on account of the Supreme Court order, Jacobite believers barged into the church and two of them climbed to the roof top, shouting out that they would commit suicide. They said that they would jump from atop and commit suicide if Orthodox believers were allowed to enter the church.

About hundred believers also crowded in front of the church with the stand that they would not allow the police to enter the church. Meanwhile, police team broke the gate and tried to enter the church compound when they faced tough resistance. Police said they would not step back as the high court would be considering the case in this regard tomorrow. Though the police asked the believers to cooperate with them, Orthodox believers were not ready to relent.
