CUTTACK: After failing to trace DGP (fire service) B B Mohanty on the first day, the visiting Rajasthan police team, which has come here to arrest him, could make little headway on the second day on Tuesday as Mohanty was on medical leave since May 27.
"We searched for Mohanty at a hospital in the Buxi Bazar area and also went to DGP's office for the second time today expecting that he would be present there. But there was no trace of him," said Rajasthan police team leader Mukund Bihari.
He said the Rajasthan police would continue its search for the DGP who is accused of helping his rape convict son Bitihotra jump parole last December.
Official sources said the Rajasthan team, accompanied by personnel of Orissa police, verified the records of the hospital at Buxi Bazar which had referred Mohanty to SCB Medical College Hospital for further treatment as he was suffering from blood dysentery.
"We have got photo copies of Mohanty's report which said that he was suffering from blood dysentery," said Station House Officer (SHO) of Lalkothi police station in Jaipur, Virendra Jakhar. He is also the investigation officer in the Bitihotra escape incident.
Meanwhile, the authorities of SCB medical college hospital, in a written reply to the Rajasthan police team on Tuesday, made it clear that Mohanty had never come to the hospital for treatment since May 27.
The police team on Monday searched for Mohanty at the hospital and urged the hospital superintendent Prof N K Balabantaray to confirm whether the DGP was under treatment in any ward of the hospital.
