The relatives of Kerala priest Tom Uzhunnalil, kidnapped in March 2016 in war-torn Yemen by terror group Islamic State, today met Governor Justice P Sathasivam, seeking his intervention to press the Centre to intensify the search for him.

Former chief minister Oommen Chandy accompanied the relatives to meet the Governor this evening and requested the latter to expedite action to trace Father Uzhunnalil, who was kidnapped by the IS at Aden in Yemen on March 4 last year.

The Governor assured them of all possible help and forwarded the plea submitted by the relatives to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
 

Father Uzhunnalil had gone missing after the terror group attacked a care home run by Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity.
