The Save Our Sisters forum, which spearheaded the protests against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal in 2018, on Friday alleged "cover up" by police after fresh reports claimed that another nun had given a statement against the top priest alleging sexual harassment.

The SOS alleged that the police failed to act in the sexual harassment charges levelled against the former Jalandhar diocese Bishop by the nun, who is also a key witness in the 'nun rape case.'
The SOS expressed apprehension that the nun, who is currently with the Missionaries of Jesus congregation under Jalandhar diocese, will be forced to change her statement "yielding to the pressure tactics of the Bishop and his supporters."
