Mohanty had earlier moved an anticipatory bail application before the High Court saying he apprehended arrest by the Rajasthan Police.Teams of the Rajasthan Police visited Orissa twice in recent weeks following Biti's disappearance. The bail application had come up in the court of Justice Laxmikanta Mohapatra on January 16. The court had granted interim protection to the DGP and later extended it till February 15.Biti was granted parole on November 20 last year and was to report back to Jaipur jail by December 4, but has since gone missing.
