Bhubaneshwar: Orissa Director General of Police (Fire Service) and Director General (Home Guards) BB Mahanti has rejoined work just hours after a Rajasthan Police team returned from Cuttack after having failed to trace him.
The senior Indian Police Service Officer has been accused of helping his convict son Bittihotra Mahanti alias Bitti Mahanti jump parole in December last year.
The four-member Rajasthan Police team led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Mukund Bihari had reached Orissa on May 28 to arrest BB Mahanti. However, he went on a sudden medical leave as soon as the Rajasthan Police team arrived.
After remaining untraceable for the last four days, he came to office in an ambulance on Friday.
His son was convicted by a Rajasthan court for raping a German tourist and there has been no trace of him since he jumped parole.
The Rajasthan Police team had returned home on Thursday night after failing to find the officer in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.
They returned due to the prevailing tension in Rajasthan where the Gurjars are demanding inclusion in the list of Schedule Tribe.
After resuming his duties Mahanti also attended a meeting at his office where other senior police officers were also present.
