Nun Sister Ranit Seeks Justice After Bishop Franco Mulakkal's Acquittal

Sister Ranit, a senior Catholic nun from Kerala, publicly revealed her identity after years of silence to pursue justice against Bishop Franco Mulakkal, whom she accused of repeated rape between 2014 and 2016. Mulakkal was acquitted in January 2022 but resigned and retains the honorary title of Bishop Emeritus. Nearly four years after her appeal to the High Court, no hearing has been scheduled, and the state has yet to appoint a public prosecutor, delaying further legal proceedings.
