Catholic Bishop Franco Mulakkal

Catholic Bishop Franco Mulakkal, an accused in the 2018 Nun Rape Cases, has been acquitted. The Kottayam Court of Kerala, on January 14, acquitted the bishop, as the prosecution failed to produce evidence against 58-year-old Mulakkal.  The case was registered in 2018, alleging the Catholic Bishop of rape and sexual abuse between 2014-2016. However, after several trials, he was found not guilty.
