Sister Anupama, who was at the forefront of protests demanding the arrest of Bishop Franco Mulakkal, accused of raping a nun, was Thursday heckled and asked by some people to leave the cemetery where the funeral of a key witness in the rape case was going on.
Kuriakose Kattuthara, a priest who had also testified against Mulakkal, had been found dead under mysterious circumstances in Dasuya near Jalandhar in northern Punjab three days ago.
The post-mortem was held at Jalandhar and body brought to Kerala Wednesday.
At the funeral this evening, a section of the faithful protested Anupama's presence and asked her to leave the cemetery at St Mary's church in Pallipuram near here
