German woman rape case convict Bitti Hottra Mohanty dies of stomach cancer in Bhubaneswar

Son of Odisha's former DGP, Bitti Hottra Mohanty who was convicted for raping a German tourist in Alwar in Rajasthan in 2006 has died in Bhubaneswar.

As per sources, Bitti Hotra died while undergoing treatment at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Confirming the development, AIIMS officials on Monday informed that Bitti Hotra was suffering from stomach cancer and died at around 12 am today.

“Bitti Hotra was undergoing treatment outside and had come to AIIMS Bhubaneswar one and half months back after complaining of bleeding and was on supporting treatment,” said a senior AIIMS Bhubaneswar official.

Bitti Hotra is the son of Odisha's former director-general of police Bidya Bhusan Mohanty. Bitti was involved in the rape of a German national (tourist) in Alwar, Rajasthan. Bitti was primarily convicted by the Fast Track Trial Court Alwar within 15 days of his arrest on April 12, 2006.

Bitti subsequently went absconding after being convicted of raping a German girl by jumping parole. Later, Kerela Police had arrested Bitti Hotra in 2013. He was arrested after some bank officials alerted the police regarding Bitti Hotra who had submitted forged documents to get a bank job at Thiruvanthapuram.
