Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who 'raped' Kerala nun, is among the most powerful Christians in Punjab

Jalandhar Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who is accused of raping a Kerala nun, is among the most powerful Christians in Punjab. Wooed by political parties across the board, the 54-year-old bishop commands great spiritual influence over Catholic Christians in the state. Christians constitute slightly more than one per cent of Punjab’s population, with the majority settled in Amritsar, Jalandhar and Ludhiana. The bishop offered to “step aside” from his position Monday following the controversy. In June, a nun in Kerala had alleged that the Jalandhar-based bishop had raped her 13 times between 2014 and 2016 during his visits to the southern state.
