Public Lesson for Top Cop

http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/753

Chhayamani Mohanty, mother of the 22 year old rapist Nitay Mohanty, helping the police to nab her culprit son is a contrast with another Mohanty of Orissa who dumped his duty to the public and helped his convicted Rapist son escape prison term. Hopefully, if the father and son hear of this news, it would turn their faces red with shame. It was exactly one year ago that Orissa government was forced to act against its Director General of Police (Home Guard) Bidya Bhusan Mohanty for helping his son Bitihotra (Biti) Mohanty who was facing a seven year jail term after being charged for criminal assault on a German tourist in Jaipur jumped parole in November 2006. The sequence of events in the case were.

On March 20, 2006 Rajasthan Police arrested Biti Mohanty on rape charges.

On April 12, a local court in Jaipur announced a seven years of rigorous imprisonment In November 2006, Mohanty appealed for a temporary parole in the court. The court allowed a parole period till Dec 04 but Biti Mohanty did not return after the end of the period.

On May 2007 the Jaipur court order Rajasthan police to arrest BB Mohanty with charges under IPC section 216 and 130.
BB Mohanty appealed in Jaipur session court for anticipatory bail that gave him a six week respite till May 31 st 07.
On May 28, Rajasthan Police sent a team to Orissa to catch the top cop but did not get any clue as he was on medical leave.

The cops would do well to learn a lesson in morality from Chayamani Mohanti.
