Professor Joseph, Malayalam Head of the Department of the Private Newman college in Thodupuzha was attacked on July 4. He was returning home along with his family members, after a Sunday mass at a church in Muvattupuzha in Ernakulam district.
The hand had been cut off at the wrist on allegations of blasphemy by Muslim radicals belonging to PFI for preparing a question paper for B.Com semester students which reportedly had some references to Prophet Mohammed.
But that’s not the worst part.
The college authorities have terminated his services.
