Gautam Gambhir, former India cricketer and Lok Sabha MP, has lauded PM Narendra Modi’s decision to rename the Khel Ratna award.

The Khel Ratna Award will now be named as Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award will now be called the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. This move comes a day after India’s men won the hockey bronze at the Tokyo Olympics and hours after the India women’s hockey team missed out on a maiden Olympic medal.

“The kind of achievement the men and women’s hockey team have managed at the Tokyo Olympics. After this, the entire country is happy that the Khel Ratna Award has been renamed to Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna,” Gambhir told AajTak.

“I am confident that Dhyan Chand will get Bharat Ratna now.”

Gambhir on Thursday said paid the ultimate tribute to the men’s hockey team, saying their bronze medal win in Tokyo Olympics is bigger than any of the Cricket World Cup won by the Indian cricket team in the past.

Dhyan Chand is regarded as one of the greatest hockey players of all time. India had dominated hockey for decades on the world stage and they were invincible at the Olympics. Dhyan Chand had played key roles in winning gold medals for India at the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Olympics.

On Thursday, India won their first Olympic hockey medal since 1980 when the men’s team defeated Germany in a tense match.

The Khel Ratna was earlier named after former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

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.
