Kottayam SP D Shilpa said that the police have sought a legal opinion from the special public prosecutor to make an appeal against the judgment.
A day after Bishop Franco Mulakkal, accused of raping a nun multiple times over two years in a case that sparked massive outrage and protests in Kerala, was acquitted by a court, the prosecution has decided to file an appeal.
The Court said that the testimony of the complainant was inconsistent and riddled with variations and the allegations were an outcome of factional feud within the church and complainant's desire for power and position.
Nuns of the Kuravilangad Convent in Kottayam have made it clear that they will challenge the acquittal of the Bishop who was charged with rape.
Mulakkal, 57, was accused of raping the nun multiple times during his visit to a convent in Kottayam district when he was the Bishop of the Jalandhar diocese of the Roman Catholic church.
