Commissioner Virk, JCP (Traffic) Arora, JCP (Headquarters) Saurabh Singh and several deputy commissioners and assistant commissioners of police rode bicycles in dedicated car-free areas allotted to them.

The officers, along with CEOs and working officials rode cycles, shared vehicles, the Delhi Metro, the Rapid Metro, buses and taxis to decongest the millennium city roads.

Four major IT corridors were identified to make the campaign more concentrated — DLF Cyber City, Cyber Park area, Golf Course Road and Electronic City.

While Gurgaon celebrated Car Free Day, differences between JCP Arora and Commissioner Virk came out in the open later over an alleged high-profile rape case.

Arora has accused Virk of harassment and mental torture and interfering in the alleged rape case, monitored by her.

Gurgaon’s former deputy commissioner P.R. Bhardwaj’s son Ajay Bharwdaj and his family members were booked under charges of rape and criminal intimidation in the case.

The complainant was Ajay Bhardwaj’s former live-in partner, a resident of Ardee City, Gurgaon, with whom she has a child.

Arora claimed to have found that the offences mentioned in the FIR could not be made out, but Virk wanted to indict the accused.

JCP Arora and Commissioner Virk have levelled serious charges against each other and complained to Haryana’s Director General of Police Yashpal Singhal.

The news of ongoing ‘war’ emerged before the Car Free Day movement started in the morning.

The commissioner and joint commissioner rode cycles from different area and reached the HUDA city centre Metro Station.

Later, both called press conferences at their offices separately to justify the allegations they have levelled against each other in the rape case investigation.

In the press meet, Arora demanded an inquiry by Central Bureau of Investigation into the matter, while Virk said Arora was levelling false allegations to hide her own illegal actions, as a report to take action against her has been sent to the Haryana DGP.

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.
