Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Rajasthan government has transferred Virendra Jhakar, head of the police team that failed to arrest Orissa top cop B B Mohanty, accused of helping his son jump parole.
SHO Jhakar, has been transferred to Banswara. During its four-day stay in Orissa, the Rajasthan police team failed to locate B B Mohanty who went on medical leave.
Mahanti rejoined duty, hours after the team left for Rajasthan empty-handed.
Virendra Jhakar, the Station House Officer of Lalkothi police station, who returned from Bhubaneswar on June 1 after failing to arrest Mohanty– accused of helping his son Biti to jump parole after being convicted for rape – has been transferred to Banswara.
Inspector General of Police O P Galhotra said that Jhakhar's transfer was a routine affair.
When asked whether there was any pressure from any quarter to transfer Jhakhar, he said nothing should be attributed to the government's move.
Galhotra, however, admitted that Jhakhar was posted at Lalkothi police station just one year ago.
Jhakar had gone to Orissa last week with a police team to arrest Mohanty, the Orissa DGP (Fire services), but returned empty-handed as the official had gone on medical leave.
