Ghaziabad: Social media was to blame for sensational spontaneous crimes in Uttar Pradesh, Director General of Police (DGP) Jagmohan Yadav said on Thursday.

The police chief and Principal Secretary (Home) Devashish Panda, who were in Ghaziabad on Thursday, asked people, especially the minority community, not to desert the Greater Noida village of Bisara where a Muslim man was lynched to death over rumours of consuming beef and sacrificing a cow.

“The Greater Noida incident was a spontaneous one. We were shocked to know about the incident. But we have planned to control such types of incidents more effectively by our electronically controlled hi-tech control room,” the police chief said.

Elaborating on the preventive measures being taken by police, Yadav said the high-tech control room, equipped with all forensic tools, was being set up to prevent unwanted social media posts.

“We have successfully investigated cases being posted on social media in violation of rules. To strengthen the effectiveness, skilled staff is being posted to monitor unwanted posts on social media,” he said.

Yadav said the forensic report of the meat, over which the victim Akhlaque was lynched, was yet to come.

But the case was being investigated extensively to cover all possible angles – even if it was a political conspiracy in which the man was killed.

After a meeting with officers, the principal secretary and the police chief said at a press conference that police were trying hard to stop the exodus of the minority community from Bisara village.

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.
