Hours after Mulakkal, accused of repeated rape, appeared before the SIT, DGP said that decision on his arrest will be taken once the questioning is over.
The nun who alleged rape by the Bishop had recently sought urgent intervention of the Vatican for justice and demanded the bishop's removal as head of the Jalandhar diocese.
The Missionaries of Jesus of Jalandhar went on to say that the nun, who accused the bishop of raping her on multiple occasions, has conspired against him.
Bishop Franco Mulakkal of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Jalandhar has been served a notice to appear before the probe team on September 19.
It was in June when the victim brought allegations against Bishop Franco saying he raping her several times between 2014 and 2016.
