Speculation in this regard has been doing the rounds even as the police today did not want to confirm or deny reports that suggested this possibility, saying this was not the focus of their investigation now underway.
Bitti, who secured job in a public sector bank here, reportedly had an affair with a woman who was part of the same batch of probationary officers recruited by the public sector bank.
However, the girl, working in a different branch, is reported to have remained firm and informed her kin about the desire to marry him. Though her parents sought to dissuade her, she stuck to her stand.
It was during the time when the parents were making enquiries about him, that his picture was flashed on a TV channel in the wake of the Delhi gangrape incident as one of the culprits who had been absconding after committing crimes against women.
It was around this time the bank's branch received an anonymous letter saying that the man who was working there under the name Raghav Rajan was actually Bitti, who had jumped parole in 2006 while he was serving a seven-year jail term in the rape case in Lwar in Rajasthan.
The branch forwarded the letter to its headquarters and the officials there, in turn, handed it over to the police.
At the beginning of the investigation itself, police had said there was anonymous letter which gave some clues. However, it was not the focus of the investigation now, it said.
