The Cuttack-Bhubaneswar Archbishop, Raphael Cheenath, has said that he is facing a threat to his life after the killing of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and violence that followed it.

"I received an anonymous letter from some Hindu youth organisation which threatened to eliminate me," Archbishop Cheenath said.

He met Chief Minister Naveen Pattanaik on Monday. He told that he had informed the CM about this threat.

The letter came to him in Last week of August.

Swami Laxamananda Saraswati's was brutally killed in Kandhamal district on August 23.

On the other hand, Orissa police had made elaborate security arrangements around various Bishop's houses and other Christian institutions across the state.

Father Chennath had moved Supreme Court after Kandhamal violence seeking CBI probe into the controversial Nun rape case.
