The police teams on Sunday searched former inspector general of police M.S. Ahlawat, facing a case of alleged molestation of a woman lawyer in Uttar Pradesh and also in Haryana.
“We haven’t succeeded in tracing him so far. Our teams had earlier searched for him in parts of Haryana and Delhi and some places in UP. Today also, they continued to vigorously search for him in some parts of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana,” a police official said here.
Mr Ahlawat’s anticipatory bail was recently dismissed by a Yamunanagar court in a case of alleged molestation of a woman lawyer eight years ago, after which the police issued lookout notice and alerted airports against him to prevent him from fleeing the country.
