Thiruvananthapuram: Former Jalandhar Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who has been accused of raping a nun, has been summoned by a Kerala court on November 11. Mulakkal was arrested last year following allegations by a nun that he repeatedly raped her at the Kuravilangad convent between 2014 and 2016, a charge denied by him. He is currently out on bail.

Meanwhile, another nun has lodged a complaint with the Kerala Women's Commission alleging mental harassment in the rape case. The complainant has alleged that Mulakkal is using social media platforms to defame her.
