Indian motorcycle racer C. S. Santhosh suffered a crash during the ongoing Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia and was put in a medically induced coma after being airlifted to a hospital in Riyadh.

The 37-year-old, who was representing Hero Moto Sports at the world’s biggest rally race, crashed on Wednesday and is being kept under observation for 24 hours.

Santhosh, who was reportedly conscious when paramedics arrived on the scene before he was rushed to Riyadh, is suspected to have suffered a head injury in the crash, which took place on a gravel track around 135km into the stage..

The incident occurred at the same stage where Hero MotoSports rider Paulo Goncalves died while competing in the 2020 Dakar Rally. Hero MotoSports withdrew from the rally after Goncalves’ death.

This was Santosh’s seventh attempt at the Dakar Rally, considered the world’s most gruelling off-road motorsports event. He was the first Indian to complete the race in 2015, an effort he replicated in two further editions.

Santosh had a near-fatal accident during the 2013 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, suffering burns to his neck after his Suzuki MX450X caught fire.

The January 2-16 Dakar rally is divided into 12 stages and has competitors traversing 7,646km. Stage 4, during which Santhosh’s crash took place, was the longest stage at 813km.

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.
