New Delhi: Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju is likely to write a letter to all northeastern states to encourage their youth to join Delhi Police, sources said.

Considering the increasing number of racial attacks on people from the northeast in the capital, Rijiju has decided to enhance the number of officers from the northeast in Delhi Police.

Rijiju along with home ministry officials will visit the Delhi Police headquarters Tuesday and discuss problems of the northeast people with senior police officers.

He will also discuss the strategy about the induction of more northeast officers in Delhi Police.

“Rijiju is likely to write a letter to all northeast states to encourage their youth to join Delhi Police,” the sources said.

In an exclusive report, IANS had reported in October that only 39 men from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim are serving in Delhi Police.

“Of these, 10 are Indian Police Service (IPS) officers while the rest are in the posts of constable, head constable or inspector,” a police officer who did not wish to be named told IANS.

Following incidents of racial attacks on people from the northeast, Delhi Police set up a special 24×7 helpline number – 1093 – to register complaints.

At least 34 people from the community, including professionals and students, were appointed as helpline representatives and issued identity cards by Delhi Police to work with them.

According to the report by the North East Support Centre and Helpline (NESCH), more than 200,000 people from the northeast are living in the national capital, of whom around 50 percent are females.

“To deal with cases related to around 200,000 northeast people, there is a need to increase the number of northeast police officers. A proposal was also sent to the government in this regard,” a police official told IANS.

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.
