Chandigarh: The Haryana government will impose a complete ban on the sale of beef in any form in the state, a minister said on Saturday.

“The ban covers canned beef also, which was legal during the tenure of previous (Congress) state government. The state government is engaged in framing a stringent law to clamp a complete ban on cow slaughter that will be presented in the (ongoing) budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha,” agriculture and animal husbandry minister O.P. Dhankar said here.

The BJP government in Haryana, headed by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, has a majority in the assembly and the proposed bill is all set to be made into law.

Dhankar said that the “Gau Sanrakshan Avam Gau Samwardhan” law, which is being framed after studying the related laws in different states, would be more stringent.

“It would have provision of 10 years’ imprisonment if found guilty of cow slaughter. Action would also be taken against the driver of the vehicle carrying beef and the vehicle would be impounded,” he said.

Dhankar clarified that there was no move to book people under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code for cow slaughter.

“The news, being telecast by some TV channels, that under the new law a case would be registered under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code against the person found guilty of cow slaughter is wrong. There will be no such provision in the law. The law would only aim at the protection and promotion of cows,” he said.

There are about three lakh cows in 400 “gaushalas” (cow sheds) across the state. Apart from this, about 1.5 lakh are stray cows and 1 lakh cows are being reared by people in their houses.

“There is a proposal to set up cow reserves for these 1.5 lakh stray cows for which land is being identified. Cow reserves or sanctuaries would be set up in any district of the state adjoining Rajasthan,” he added.

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.
