Jalandhar,January 14
A Kerala court on Friday acquitted Catholic Bishop Franco Mulakkal in nun rape case.
The Kuravilangad police had registered a case after the nun, who had served as mother general with the Jesus of Missionaries at Jalandhar, lodged a complaint on June 29, 2018.
The nun had alleged the clergyman had raped her 13 times between 2014 and 2016 at Kuravilangad convent in Kottayam.
It took 86 days of investigation and 81 witnesses to record their statements, before the Kerala police arrested the Bishop on September 21, 2018.
Prior to this, the Kerala Police had interrogated Bishop for nine hours at the Bishop house between August 14 and 15.
