According to reports, Bitti Mohanty, the man detained by Kerala police for
the rape of a German woman in 2006 has reversed his earlier confession. He now
claims that he is not the person wanted by the police.
Bitti had been working as a Probationary Officer in a public sector bank here
for the last three years impersonating as "Raghav Raja" from Andhra
Pradesh.
He was arrested by Kerala police last week and remanded to judicial custody.
He was picked up from his local residence and revealed his true
identity during questioning.
Bitti Mohanty is the son of former Odisha DGP B B Mohanty. Bitti Mohanty had
allegedly raped a German tourist in Rajasthan's Alwar district on March 21,
2006, and was convicted by a fast-track court on April 12, 2006. He jumped bail
while serving a seven-year sentence.
