Bishop Franco Mulakkal arrested in Kerala nun rape case

  •   Fri, Sep 21 2018 03:58:24 PM

Kochi, Sep 21 (Agencies): The Kerala Police today arrested bishop Franco Mulakkal for allegedly raping a nun multiple times between 2014 and 2016. With this, he becomes the first Indian Catholic bishop to be arrested in a case of sexual abuse against a nun.

The arrest was made on Friday afternoon in Kochi. He was being interrogated by the police for the past three days.

Franco Mulakkal is posted at the Jalandhar Diocese and he allegedly raped the nun during official visits to Kerala. He has been relieved of his duties at the Jalandhar Diocese.

Before arresting the bishop, the police recorded a fresh statement of the nun who has accused him of rape. They also sought clarifications on some evidences.

Mulakkal's arrest comes after three days of questioning during which the bishop made a few inconsistent statements.

    those who blamed asaram bapu for sexual assault case are now supporting this person here. what could be the reason behind that. It once again shown that most of the comments are decided based on the name/caste/religion/political party of the person & the seriousness of the incident is immaterial for them.

    I have gone through the comments on this article. there are lot of indirect support & justifications, some people even in this case as usual brought bjp/modi name. but I am wondering, the same people when such kind of incidents happened by hindus their comments were quite opposite. why this kind of double standard. it is very clear that they are not interested to support the victims instead they engaged in blaming other people.

    Absolutely, agreed.

    Another Feku (PM) going strong since 4 years despite the "grave sins" against the country.

    1. Chowkidaar promise- but openly let Mallya, Nirav and friends escape openly thru the main gate !

    2. Demonetisation -Feku failed the common man miserably.. The daily wage workers lost their job's due to cash crunches . The fact that 99 per cent of the bank notes have found their way back to the RBI seems to suggest that demonetisation was not very effective in rooting out black money and reducing the informal sector.

    3. Jobs promise

    The list goes on...

    It is high time to think about the relevance of cast and religion. Of course, only very negligible priests only gone wrong, in any religion. But, without recognising the basic human needs, there is no religion at all. Allow them to marry.
    In this case, there is an element of unaccounted money also. Power corrupts. Unaccounted money corrupts more. God, whatever may be the name we like to call, does not require money. All Gods propagated love and affection. Support it. No blind faith.

    Anna Sankara,
    Nobody forced to go to priesthood. If at all somebody forced and if you can not control your thing come back and live a married life. But in any religion either our Swami, Mulla or Padri, Bishop or priest are preaching you should not do that that is a sin right? When you can preach others how you can do yourself is the MEGA question Mark. don't tell allow them to marry. Instead let them come back if they lost control is better. Only one Bishop got blamed, not each and everyone right? Without spark there can not be fire Sir!

    Let the law take its course. Inconsistent statements need to be admitted and accepted in a court of law. Hope Police have not yielded to political and public pressure. If found guilty beyond reasonable doubt then the Bishop should be punished. An accusation of Rape cannot be condoned.

    Try to read the book: AMEN - autobiography of a nun, and decide for yourselves what goes on inside gated doors!! THAT'S WHY I HATE ANY SORT OF RELIGIOUS GURUS, AND PERSUADE PEOPLE TO STAY CLEAR OF THEM!!

    Amen is just 178 pages but what hits you is the frankness and sincerity of narration. At times, the reader may get tired of one detailed episode after another, but finally comes a realisation that each episode is a bead in a chain of events that finally prompted her to step out of the grey habit.

    She accuses the Congregation of rampant corruption, “the huge chunk of money raised during admissions hardly goes though any accounting.” The infighting and viciousness of sisters come into the open. The victim has no succour.

    Homosexuality seems to be a bane many young girls have to silently endure at the nunnery. Sister Jesme suffered it too. Yet another taboo she talks about is how a few church fathers force themselves sexually on nuns. She plucks out an episode from her life as an example......

    A Superior should not have sexual contact withbthe subordinates or thise under their mercy. A doctor , a teacher and a priest should avoid sexual contact with the patient, with the student amd with people under them respectively.
    Keeping quiet or cooperating with the superior not equivalent as consent. The psychologists would know why many victims keep quiet and surrender to the aggression unwillingly and can bot cole out of the trap. He misused his position.

    Typical Indian fashion to arrest a person on friday so that he has no avenue to seek bail being weekend. We cry from roof tops that an accused is innocent until proved gulity. What we have witnessed was a trial by the media and the pressure exerted by the protesting Nuns in full glare of the media.Logically none of the thirteen alleged cases of rape can be proved in a court of law given the extra ordinary time lapse between two to four years. Evidence perforce will be circumstantial in nature of one mans testimony versus a Nuns allegations abetted by a show of solidarity by her peers in the convent. A lie detector Test of both the Bishop and all the Nuns involved in the convent will get the Truth and nothing but the Truth. Prima Facie it appears to be a case of miscarriage of justice.

    There have been various rulings in the past by the Supreme Court and the High Court on the issue. Some of these rulings clearly stated that when two adults enter into a physical relationship on the pretext of marriage, the sexual act cannot be termed as rape.

    Recently, the Bombay High Court observed that when two consenting adults “consciously enter into a physical relationship, they are fully aware of the consequences and must bear the same”.

    May b he did the same act to somebody else recently, this nun stood forward to end the kind of act forever.
    When nuns have no backup, youll find them n streets, fighting for justice.

    A black mark doesnt mean vl lose our religion, here heads feared about people view on the issue.
    Crime z crime no matter what position you hold n the monestary.
    The sacrifice of nuns r uncountable n irreplacable.
    God bless all.

    If he is a servant of God, whether he has raped Nun or not he should have stepped down from the position from the day accusation was made against him and waited patiently for the verdict.
    I condemn Archbishop's action for allowing him to stay in the position for such a long time even after the accusation

    Cool Jossey....

    Why are you getting hyper from Yesterday?

    No community can boast of 100 percent saints.

    Religious heads in almost all communities are vulnerable...these days.

    In most of the cases 'lack of Opportunities makes one a saint"....

    Therefore one who has opportunities but still does not indulge and seeks
    is a "True saint".

    Doubts clear??

    Now no more saying this religion,that religion ..that and this community.

    A wrong doer is a wrong doer....Baat katham....

    If he is guilty (which he is as evidence points out) he needs to be punished under the law of the land!

    Anyone be he/she a politician, Godman, religious/spiritual leader or layman cannot break the law and need to face the full force of the law if they commit a crime!

    Why he wanted to become a priest or a bishop??? He should have left the priesthood and married and had a good family life. Now if he is guilty then he will not have this or that. Wrong decisions lead to wrong life. Thank you and God bless each and every one of us.

    Also do not say why he became a bishop..He is also a fallible human being like anyone else.. Do not be too emotional. Say one our father and three hail marys

    he has never run from the law like winking baba..who jumped from the dais and hid behind the women in the crowd. The bishop has cooperated with the police.

    The law will take its own course and I know he will not be protected because he is not a sanghi

    Typical Indian way to arrest a person on friday so that he does not have any avenue to seek bail. An accused is innocent until he is proved guilty. How can the police prove rape charges that took place from two years to four years ago.

    It is one man versus an evil syndicate of nuns who have ganged up against the Bishop.

    Now,please do not bring Jesus ,Bible , Matthews 7:5 ,and all other holy books into all this.
    The Gods have not ordered what should be man's behavior,habits, diets , mode of worship and all that in this earth.
    Everything is man made and his belief.
    God does not need the ' brokers' ... community too to reach him.
    It's from age, drilled into us falsely that ''only some people'' are mediators for us to reach God..
    Absolute Nonsense!
    You can talk to your God yourself! Try it..

    The journey then will be very peaceful.... if you really want to seek.
    It is unfortunate that we help install 'mere human beings' in high pedestals and that too in the name of religion. For eg .here...The Bishop 's job is not that of a professional. It's of a very different dimension. A mere mortal without any knowledge, of pre requisites etc required to conduct himself in such a stature is bound to falter.
    The community as such then is left to suffer.
    The Law taking it's own course for years together after all harm is done is another matter altogether.

    The trial by the media and the pressure exerted by the nuns by protesting in full media glare has resulted in the Bishop's arrest. Justice will be met only when both the Bishop and the Nun agree to a lie detector test so that the Truth and nothing but the Truth is revealed to the public.

    The Bishops arrest is more on circumstantial evidence based on allegations of a Nun and mob mentality of the other nuns in a show of misplaced solidarity.

    The case will reveal the truth to a certain extent as it progresses.
