A group of nuns, led by Sister Anupama, had fought on behalf of the victim nun who had accused Mulakkal of raping her multiple times.
Former Jalandhar bishop Franco Mulakkal, who was acquitted by a local court in Kerala last year over rape charges by a nun, met Pope Francis in Vatican last week, a church source said in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday.
Claiming innocence, the bishop also said the complaint was "nothing but a fictional story" by the nun
Detailing the charges of rape against the Bishop, the SOS claimed the rape case remains proved absolutely and the "abduction and attempt to murder case" of the accused Bishop stands dismissed being totally false."
They alleged that the police probing the case was trying to sabotage the investigation.
