"Two months back there was an attempt to transfer us all to various parts of the country and to isolate the complainant nun. We want the charge-sheet to be filed as soon as possible and the safety of witnesses. Don't know how long we'll be able to withstand the situation," she said.
The statement from sister Anupama came after five nuns including she approached Kottayam Superintendents of Police (SP) to submit a petition seeking a speedy submission of the charge-sheet against Bishop Franco Mulakkal.
Mulakkal has been accused of raping a nun several times between 2014 and 2016 and is currently out on bail. (ANI)
