Bihar mid day meals

Patna: At least 30 children fell ill Thursday after having their mid-day meal at a government school in Bihar’s Vaishali district, officials said. Their condition is, however, stable.

The children complained of uneasiness after consuming the meal at Senduari Middle School, and were admitted to Sadar hospital at Hajipur, district headquarters of Vaishali, a district official said.

“All the children are now safe,” he said. “All of them, except two, were discharged after preliminary treatment at the hospital,” he added.

Samples of the meal have been collected by police for forensic examination. According to officials, some children said a lizard was found in the mid-day meal served to them.

However, the doctors who examined the children did not find any sign of poison in their bodies.

Officials of the education department said there have been 15 cases of poisoning in the past ten months in the state. In 2013, 23 students died after eating a meal at a primary school in Saran district.

In Bihar, 16 million students get food under the mid-day meal scheme, which covers 72,000 schools across the state.

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.
