Officials have recovered Rs 5.77 crore in cash kept in several private lockers after an income tax raid was conducted at the premises of a former IPS officer’s residence in Noida, Sector 50. The cash was recovered during the search operation which was initially called a survey operation. A source said that they received an information that cash amounting to several crore rupees was kept at the basement of the building in Noida, Sector 50.

The source said that Ram Narain Singh, a former IPS officer of the 1983 batch was running a firm from the basement which has 650 lockers, most pf which were empty. Bundles of notes of Rs 2,000 and 500 denominations were recovered, stashed in 18-20 lockers. IT officials are using bank counting machine to tabulate the cash recovered from these lockers.

“The former IPS officer was running a private firm Manasam Noida Vault from the basement of his house in A block of Sector 50. The company was opened in 2017, the same year that Singh retired,” a senior I-T official told Times of India.

The IT department source said that as of now no case was registered and it was only a search operation which they also call survey. The source said that they are checking whether it has any connection with ‘benami property’ or not. The search operation is still going on and the officials would brief the media once the search operation is over, the source added.

On Monday, Ram Narain Singh spoke to the media and said,” After my retirement, I stay in my village. There is a private locker facility which we provide. It has more flexible timings than bank. Two lockers are in my name. Nothing illegal has been found in them except family jewellery. IT is searching other lockers. Most of them are accounted for… I don’t know about cash that has been recovered. My son stays on first floor. There is a day care on ground floor”.

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.
