Orissa top cop’s son charged with rape of German woman

The Alwar police today stopped a Delhi-bound train after they received an SMS from Berlin and arrested the son of a Orissa DGP-level officer, charging him with the rape of a German woman who had accompanied him on a visit to the Rajasthan town. Alwar SP Rajesh Ari said 22-year-old B H Mohanty, an MBA student in Delhi, had been taken into custody for the alleged rape of a 25-year-old from Berlin. He said the incident took place last night in a Alwar hotel where the victim, working with an NGO in South Delhi, had checked in with Mohanty. “He (Mohanty) is the son of a Director General rank officer posted in Bhubaneswar,” Ari said.

Mohanty reached Alwar with the woman yesterday on a sight-seeing trip and checked into separate rooms in Ankur hotel, said police. “Around midnight, he knocked on her door in an inebriated condition. That’s when the crime was committed,” police said.

Ari said that Mohanty also snatched the woman’s mobile phone but returned it in the morning. The woman sent an SMS to a friend in Delhi who alerted the German Embassy which contacted the victim’s family in Berlin.

“I received an SMS from her family which had her telephone number. I called her but she was on a train to Delhi with Mohanty,” Ari said. Police then stopped the train at Khertal railway station and brought both to Alwar.
