New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the review petition filed by Bishop Franco Mulakkal against the order directing him to face trial in the nun rape case.
The rape case against the Bishop was registered by Kottayam district police in Kerala.
In her complaint to the police in June 2018, the nun had alleged that she was subjected to sexual abuse by the Bishop between 2014 and 2016.
The bishop, who was arrested by the Special Investigation Team which probed the case, has been charged with wrongful confinement, rape, unnatural sex and criminal intimidation.
