The Hindu community in Canada’s Greater Toronto Area are concerned over the number of temples being vandalised in the area in the last few months.

An estimated six Hindu temples have seen burglary, five in Peel and one in Hamilton both are part of the area. Cash from donation boxes and ornaments from Hindu Gods have been stolen in many of the cases.

The Indian consulate in Toronto has spoken to some trustees of the temples that have reported the incident and assured them support to raise the matter with Canadian authorities in bringing the culprits to book.

The first incident was reported in November last year, when break-in was reported at Hindu Sabha temple and Shri Jagannath temple, both in Brampton. January this year saw instances being reported in other temples including Maa Chintpurni Mandir, Brampton, Hindu Heritage Centre, Mississauga,  Gauri Shankar Mandir, Brampton and Hamilton Samaj Temple, Hamilton.

Prima facie, these instances don’t look like organized attacks against Hindu temples and their properties and only petty attempts to steal money from temples.

The local Police have taken cognizance of the incidents and started investigations. The authorities have contacted the temple staff, and extended support informed of increased security and police patrols.

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.
