Dharamsala: The first Defence Park in an Indian educational institution was launched here on Sunday with the inauguration of a huge model of a naval warship at the Dalhousie Public School in Dalhousie, located in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh.

The Controller of Logistics (Navy) in the defence ministry, Vice-Admiral Jaywant Korde inaugurated the exhibit of the warship named “Sardar Madan Singh”, after the naval officer who led the historic Royal Indian Naval Mutiny of 1946 that hastened the end of British colonial rule in the country, according to a statement here.

“The Indian Navy honoured Sardar Madan Singh by inducting a warship auxiliary in his name at Mumbai on February 26, 1999,” the statement said.

The model unveiled at Dalhousie Public School represents the Shivalik class stealth frigate which is fitted with latest weaponry like the Brahmos cruise missiles and 9M317 surface-to-air missiles, it added.

“The remarkable project is undertaken at an altitude of 7,000 feet, which adds to the inherent complexities of transporting war memorabilia of such size and dimension,” Korde said.

“This will help to create greater awareness for naval recruitment in the northern states,” he added.

Dalhousie Public School principal Captain G.S. Dhillon (retd) said: “We have installed a 108 feet-tall flagpole hoisting the tallest national flag in Himachal Pradesh, which is illuminated at night to generate patriotic fervour among the young. It is even visible at night from some parts of Punjab.”

This Defence Park also has on display war memorabilia such as the MIG 21 fighter aircraft, surface-to-air Pichora missiles and the T-55 battle tank.

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.
