Jalandhar: In a setback to Jalandhar Bishop Franco Mulakkal’s effort to get protection against arrest, the Kerala High Court on Tuesday deferred hearing his petition for anticipatory bail to September 25.
Franco Mulakkal is to appear before the Kerala police officers probing allegations that he raped a nun tomorrow.
In his bail plea, the Bishop had said he had been implicated for taking action against the nun.
The Bishop had been summoned in connection with the probe into allegations of rape by a nun amid mounting pressure for action against him and continuing protests by Missionaries of Jesus nuns and officials of various churches for the past 10 days in Kochi.
