No peace or closure for victims.

What to make of the drama going on with Bitihotra Mohanty, a convicted rapist who went on the run with the help of his father BB Mohanty, one time Director General of Police in Odisha. He was arrested by police in Kerala on 8 March after a tip off while working at the State Bank of Travancore in Kannur on a false identity as Raghav Rajan. This being India the first question that comes to mind is whether this is a genuine arrest or whether it is part of a deal to make a big song and dance and then losing the case in court to allow Biti to get off with a token punishment to go back to enjoying life in the bosom of his loving family. According to the police at least 3 of his uncles kept in touch with him through 7 years, helping him obtain forged identity papers with which he obtained a management degree from the Chinmaya Institute of Technology in Kannur, proving that he is so adored by everyone in his family. A quick recap. TOI, 11 March. Accused of raping a German tourist in Alwar, Rajasthan on 26 March, 2006. Convicted and sentenced to 7 years in prison by a fast track court on 12 April. Allowed out on parole for a fortnight to see his mother on 20 November. In every civilised country in the world parole is at the end of a sentence and only for good behavior and genuine remorse. Manu Sharma, son of a Haryana politician and murderer of Jessica Lall, was allowed out on parole also to see his " sick " mother and was caught enjoying night clubs in Delhi. On 4 December Biti disappears. BB Mohanty denies all knowledge of his son and loses a paltry Rs 50,000 as surety. On 24 August, 2007 a Jaipur court issues a non-bailable arrest warrant for BB Mohanty following which he goes on the lam. He is suspended from his post by the Odisha government. Apparently he was masquerading as Rajeev Rajan with Biti as Raghav Rajan at Puttaparthi in Andhra. On 10 January, after 5 months on the run and after a warning by the Supreme Court BB Mohanty surrenders and is given bail the next day. On 13 May 2009 the Odisha government revokes his suspension and he rejoins his post, presumably getting all his past dues in a huge lump sum as a reward for his criminal behavior. He retires on 30 April, 2010 as Director General, fire Services and Commandant General, Home Guards, again presumably with full pension and perks. How sad that chiefs of police in India are common criminals. They are immune because of their knowledge of the crimes of politicians and civil servants. Simple blackmail. Even the press protected Rathore who was Inspector General of Police in Haryana. They hid the fact that he is a pedophile by continuously saying that Ruchika Girhotra was a teenager. A 19 year old is a teenager but is an adult. Ruchika was just 14 when she was molested. Rathore has presented his wife with a new Mercedes. Criminals laugh. No peace for victims.
