Nitish KumarPatna : Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said his government is ready to hand over the case of Siwan journalist Rajdeo Ranjan’s killing to the CBI.

“We have learnt that the victim’s family wants a CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) inquiry. We are deciding to hand over the investigation over to the CBI,” Nitish Kumar told reporters in the state capital.

The chief minister also said that the investigation is being carried out with “highest diligence” and police will file a charge sheet at the earliest.

Assuring punishment to the perpetrators, Nitish Kumar said: “The person who has committed the crime will get the strictest punishment under law.”

Nitish Kumar’s remarks came after people across the state took out protests against the murder of the reporter.

Rajdeo Ranjan, Siwan bureau chief of Hindi newspaper Hindustan, which is part of the HT Media, was shot dead on Friday in a busy market near the Station Road in the district town.

Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for terming the killing of the journalist and of a teenager in Gaya earlier as “return of jungle raj” in the state, Nitish Kumar said: “In the last elections those who wanted to get votes in the name of ‘jungle raj’ were defeated. Now they don’t have any issues to target. That’s why they are comparing everything to ‘jungle raj’.”

The chief minister asked people if they had suggestions on any other steps that can be taken. “I would like to ask people what else can be done, because if something else can be done, we would very much like to do it.”

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.
