Bitti father untraceable

Former director-general (DG) of Odisha police B B Mohanty, father of rape convict Bitihotra “Bitti” Mohanty, remained elusive following his son’s arrest on Saturday. All attempts by local journalists to contact Mohanty at his Cuttack residence went in vain.

Soon after the dramatic arrest of Bitti local journalists rushed to his CDA residence, only to be told by a housekeeper that the retired officer left for an undisclosed location on Saturday morning. Other members of the family were also not available for comment.
However, some journalists managed to contact one of Mohanty’s relatives, who said Bitti was an “innocent boy” who was “framed.”
