rapeChandigarh:The Haryana Police on Sunday registered a case of gang rape after a woman from Delhi’s Narela area filed a complaint, even as a senior police officer said she could not confirm if the incident was linked to alleged Murthal gang rapes.

The woman called up the helpline of the all-women Special Investigation Team set up to investigate the alleged gang rape of at least 10 women commuters in Murthal in Haryana’s Sonepat district last Monday (February 22) during the pro-reservation Jat stir.

“I cannot say if this incident is linked to the alleged Murthal gang rapes. We are investigating. I am going to Delhi to record her statement,” SIT head and Deputy Inspector General of Police Rajshree Singh told media persons.

She said seven people have been booked in the gang rape case.

Police sources said the complainant said she could identify all seven accused, including her brother-in-law, who committed the crime on February 22-23 night.

“She complained that she was travelling from Haridwar when her bus broke down near Murthal. She said she boarded a van (taxi) in which other people, including women, were also travelling. However, the van was stopped by some people, who pulled them out and gang raped her in the fields,” Rajshree Singh said, adding that investigations into the complaint had begun.

Police sources said a personal dispute in the case could not be ruled out.

The Haryana government on Friday set up an all-women inquiry committee to probe the alleged gang rapes on women who were commuting on the National Highway-1 early Monday.

The inquiry committee, headed by DIG Rajshree Singh and comprising two women Deputy Superintendents of Police Bharti Dabas and Surinder Kaur, on Saturday visited Hasanpur village near Murthal, where the alleged assault took place.

The Haryana government and police earlier maintained that no gang rapes occurred near Murthal.

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.
