Franco Mulakkal made these statements during the interrogation at the Thrippunnithura police club, Kerala, on Wednesday. Franco repeated his earlier statement that he was not present at Kuravilangadu seminary on the day in which the complainant said he was present. “The nun has been a troublesome inmate of the seminary and hence I had to reprimand her several times. She was removed from an important post in the Missionaries of Jesus recently and she is under the impression that I was the person behind her removal. This is the reason for her allegations against me,” he reportedly told the investigation officers. Meanwhile, the police have prepared 500 questions for Franko. The investigation team has asked the Bishop to answer to the point. After an hour’s delay, Franco reached Thrippunnithura police club around 11 am. The instruction was to reach before the investigation officers at 10 am. The questioning is being recorded with respect to the rape charges levelled against him by a Kerala nun.
