Top Maoist leader, wife surrender in Kolkata

Kolkata: A top Maoist leader and his wife surrendered to the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata police on Wednesday, police said. “Maoist leader Ranjit Pal and his wife Anita Pal alias Jharna Giri has surrendered to the STF of Kolkata police today. There are several serious charges since 2003. This is a very important case of surrender,” West Bengal Director General of Police Surajit Kar Purkaystha told the media.

According to police, Pal operated as the commander in-chief in the West Bengal-Jharkhand border area. The Maoist leader said he has surrendered after realising that one cannot do good for the people and the society through violent means. He also expressed his satisfaction over the present state government’s initiative in addressing the issues they were fighting for. “I have realised good cannot be done for the people and the society through the path of violence. Our struggle was against certain problems in the state. But the present state government is addressing those issues. They are also trying to bring others like us who are still in the wrong track, into the mainstream,” Pal said after laying down arms.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
