In a “Polite” request, members of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra, which is raising donations for the temple, have asked donors to not contribute silver bricks.

According to a report in ThePrint, the request has been made because bank lockers have no space to store them. More than 400 kilograms of silver bricks have been donated so far, the report said.

“People from all across the country are sending silver bricks for use in the construction of the temple. We now have way too many silver bricks that we have to think hard about how to keep them in safe storage,” Dr Anil Mishra, a trust member, was quoted as saying.

“Therefore, the trust is now appealing to the donors not to donate silver.” Mishra said, “All our bank lockers are full (with silver)”.

“We fully respect the sentiments of Lord Ram’s devotees, but it is our humble request that they should not send any more silver bricks. We will also have to spend a lot of money to safely store them,” he said. Mishra also said if there is any further need of silver for the construction of the temple, then “we will issue an appeal”.

Trust sources, meanwhile, said they have so far received cash donations of over Rs 1,600 crore. Various groups and teams formed by the trust to run this campaign have been asked to either transfer the money to the trust account or to accept donations as cheques.

Champat Rai, the trust’s general secretary, had earlier said that 1,50,000 groups are engaged in this fund-raising campaign. The entire temple will be built within the next 39 months, he had said.

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.
