KOCHI: Kottayam Witness Protection authority has ordered provision of security to Sister Lissy Vadakkel, the prime witness in a sexual harassment case against former Jalandhar bishop Franco Mulakkal.

The instruction via the order has been given to Moovattupuzha DySP. The instruction is also there to shift the sister to a safe place when the trial starts. The home department has been asked to initiate steps for the above.

Sister Lissy is now staying in Moovattupuzha Jyothibhavan. She recently revealed that FCC province authorities had asked her to return to Vijayawada but soon after this, Provincial Superior came out with the explanation that the above news was part of a fake campaign.

Meanwhile, the investigation team filed the charge sheet against Franco in Pala court last Tuesday.
