New Delhi: The Supreme Court's deadline for Orissa DG B B Mohanty to surrender before a Jaipur court ends on Monday.
Top Jaipur police sources say if Mohanty fails to surrender the police will begin proceedings to arrest him.
DG B B Mohanty, the father of rape convict Bitti Mohanty, is accused of helping his son jump parole from Jaipur Central Jail.
Bitti who was sentenced for life for raping a German researcher in Alwar has been on the run for over five months now, after he jumped parole from Jaipur Central jail.
While the Cuttack High Court has provided relief to the DGp who's been trying to evade arrest for the past few months, the Supreme Court has stayed all the relief given to him by the Cuttack High Court.
Reacthing on the issue, Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said, "Law willl take its own course and we will do what ever the court directs us".
Bitty had been lodged in a Rajasthan jail after he was convicted on the charges of raping a German girl in Alwar.
He has been on the run since he jumped parole in December last year. He had been granted parole from November 20 to December.
Mohanty has to be arrested by the Rajasthan police before that then he has to be granted bail.
Mohanty was in the dock after the Rajasthan government issued a warrant for the attachment of his property and recovery of an amount of Rs 50,000, which he had pledged through surety bonds for the parole of his son Biti Mohanty.
Biti was convicted and jailed by a fast-track court in Alwar for the rape of the German tourist last year.
The Jaipur Jail authorities later granted parole to Biti from November 20 to December 4, 2006 after the DGP had furnished the surety bonds. But Biti has gone missing ever since.
A team of Rajasthan police had gone to Orissa in December 2006 to arrest Biti, but returned empty-handed after hunting for him for 20 days.
Subsequently, the Rajasthan government initiated action against the Orissa DGP after a sustained media campaign demanding an inquiry into the whole issue.
