Franco Mulakkal, a Bishop of the Jalandhar diocese who has been accused of rape and unnatural sex by a nun, today claimed that he is innocent and said the truth will come out in the police investigation.
"I know that I am innocent, but that is not enough. Bringing out the truth is also my responsibility now," he told 'Mathrubhumi', a Malayalam news channel.
"I believe that the police investigation in the case will bring out the truth," he added.
Dismissing reports that he may leave the country to evade arrest, Mulakkal said, "All this is propaganda. I am here in the diocese carrying out my daily duties."
