KOCHI: Speculations are rife that Bishop Franco, the nun rape case accused, may get arrested on Thursday as many contradictions were spotted in his statements.

Though he was quizzed for six hours on Wednesday, he could not give definite answers for all the questions. The discrepancy can lead to his arrest.

Franco has been asked to appear before the investigation team at Thrippunnithura hi-tech cell again on Thursday at 11 am. However, the decision on whether to arrest him or not will be taken by today evening after the interrogation session.

Franco had arrived at Thrippunithura SP office for questioning on Wednesday at 11am, though he was asked to be present at 10 am. Diocese PRO Fr Peter Kavumpuram and two others were with him.
