Jaipur,
Jan
10:
Former
Orissa
DGP
B
B
Mohanty,
who
has
been
accused
of
helping
his
son
Bitti
Mohanty
to
jump
parole
in
a
rape
case,
surrendered
before
a
Jaipur
court
today.
Mohanty
had
earlier
indicated
that
he
would
surrender
before
the
court
in
two
weeks
time.
Bitti,
who
is
still
on
run,
was
found
guilty
of
raping
a
German
researcher
on
March
20,
2006.
He
was
given
parole
from
November
20
to
December
4,
reportedly
on
his
father's
application
on
the
grounds
of
his
mother's
illness,
and
has
been
absconding
since
then.
Mohanty, however, has denied filed any application for his son's parole. The Rajasthan Police has charged him under Section 120B and 130 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for conspiracy to help a criminal escape from lawful custody. He is also charged under IPC 216 for harbouring an offender who has escaped from custody.
Bitti was sentenced to seven years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10,000 by a fast-track court in Alwar, Rajasthan.
