Jaipur: Retired IAS officer BB Mohanty accused of raping a 23-year-old woman was arrested in the capital city of Rajasthan on Monday after he surrendered himself at Mahesh Nagar police station, informed Deputy commissioner of Police, Jaipur South, Yogesh Dadich on Tuesday.

Mohanty will be produced before a court today after his medical tests, Dadich said.

In 2014, an MBA student lodged an FIR against Mohanty, a 1977 batch of Rajasthan cadre IAS officer, accused of sexually exploiting her several times since February 2013 in a pretext to help her clearing the prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS) examination.

At the time of the complaint, Mohanty was posted as the Chairman of the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal. However, the government suspended the IAS officer from his post soon after the allegation, and he was absconding since then.
