Arrest the guilty

The arrest of Bishop Franco Mulakkal by the Kerala police is a welcome move and we hope the victim will get justice. The culprit should get a maximum sentence as per the Indian Law (“Bishop Mulakkal remanded in judicial custody until October 6”, Gulf News, September 25).

Hopefully, other victims will also open up against the bishop and will get justice.

Even though there was no support for the victim from the Kerala Catholic church, we should appreciate the nuns who fought for justice. Mainstream political parties in Kerala did not support the protest, which lasted for 14 days. The government should call a judicial enquiry to find out why the unnatural deaths occurred in convents all over Kerala for the past three decades. At least the Catholic Church should condemn Bishop Franco, and he should be dismissed from pastoral services. From Mr Eappen Elias
