Kerala: Kerala police today arrested Jalandhar-based Bishop Franco Mulakkal after three days of interrogation in the sensational Kerela nun rape case. He is likely to be produced in a court at Pala.
The state Crime Branch (CB) interrogated Mulakkal for the last three days in a hi-tech interrogation cell in Tripunithura and arrested him today.
Reportedly, the SIT recorded the statement of the survivor nun again today at a convent at Kuruvilangad in Kottayam.
According to reports, a nun belonging to the catholic congregation of Missionaries of Jesus in Jalandhar filed a police complaint against Bishop Franco Mulakkal in June alleging that Mulakkal raped and subjected her to unnatural sex 13 times during 2014 to 2016 at a convent in Kuravilangad.
Earlier, the victim had urged the Vatican’s intervention demanding the bishop’s dismissal from his post as the head of the Jalahandhar diocese, following which Mulakkal resigned from his post.
The Kerala High Court on September 18 had rejected Mulakkal’s anticipatory bail.
