Thrissur/UNI: A priest who conducted a mass at a church in Chalkaudy near here on Monday was arrested for defying the government order against mass gathering in view of the coronavirus outbreak.

According to police, the priest Pauly Padayatti, Vicar of the Lady of Perpetual Help church at Koodapuzha in Chalakudy, had conducted the mass gathering in which at least 100 people had participated.

The priest was later let off on bail.
