and his accomplice in Jodhpur. The two were sentenced to life imprisonment

by a fast-track court within a month.

a senior police officer of Orissa cadre. Theaccused, B.H. Mohanty. wasfound

guilty and sentenced to seven years imprisonment by a fast-track

court. However,

he jumped parole in December 2006 and has been absconding since then.

2009. Similarly, the arrival of domestic tourists has also leapfrogged from

7.3 million in 2000 to around 25 million tourists in 2009.
