From Alwar, the team will go to Jaipur, the SP said. Bitti was arrested in Kunnur district in Kerala on 8 March on a complaint by the bank following an anonymous letter to the bank stating that the probationary officer working as Raghav Rajan was the convicted son of the former Odisha Director General of Police BB Mohanty. He was arrested on charges of impersonation, forgery and cheating in Kunnur district. Bitty had been hiding from the law ever since he jumped parole in 2006 from Alwar jail in Rajasthan. He was convicted by a local court in Alwar for raping his German friend in 2006 and was released in November 2006 on a parole to meet his ailing mother at Cuttack in Odisha. PTI
