A court in Kerala on July 13 created history by issuing non-bailable arrest warrant against a Catholic bishop, who failed several times to appear for trial in a rape case.

The Additional District and Sessions Judge in Kottayam on July 1 had asked Bishop Franco Mulakkal of Jalandhar to be present in the court to stand trial for allegedly raping a Catholic nun multiple times.
