The Andheri Government Railway Police (GRP) arrested two members of a gang that robbed wallets of train commuters and then used the credit or debit cards to withdraw money from accounts even before the commuters realised that they had been robbed.

The gang was busted after a member of PM Narendra Modi`s special protection group (SPG) was robbed and his debit cards stolen and used by the accused, identified as Raanu Virendra Pandey and Haider Shaikh, to withdraw money.

GRP officers said the incident occurred on November 6, when the victim arrived in Mumbai from Orissa to visit a friend. The victim had boarded a local train from Vile Parle to Prabhadevi. When the victim reached Mahim station, he received a message on his mobile phone that a withdrawal had been made from his account. He then checked his bag to find his wallet missing. He then approached the Andheri GRP and registered a complaint.

Senior Police Inspector Dattaray Nikam began an investigation and arrested Pandey. After interrogation, the police officers found out that Pandey had taken the wallet of the victim and within minutes gave it to Shaikh who then swiped the debit card, withdrew the money and gave Raanu Rs 4,000.

The police then arrested Shaikh, who confessed to having swiped over 50 credit and debit cards given to him by various robbers. The police said that they have unearthed a gang with the arrest of the accused who robbed wallets of railway commuters. The two have been arrested for theft under the various sections of the IPC and IT Act, said an officer from Andheri GRP.

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.
