Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra created history by becoking the first India to win gold medal in track and field category at recently concluded Tokyo Olympics. The success at Tokyo Olympics did wonders for Neeraj Chopra as his Instagram followers increased by 1.1 million in only one day. This shows that Neeraj’s popularity jumped within no time.

Since his historic Olympics gold medal, Chopra’s brand value has jumped manifold. According to reports, Neeraj Chopra’s brand value has increased by 1000 per cent.

Neeraj Chopra’s endorsement fee is now equal to Team India skipper Virat Kohli and CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Even before claiming the gold medal at Olympics, Neeraj Chopra was the face of some known brands like Nike, sports drink brand Gatorade, ExxonMobil and MuscleBlaze sports supplements.

Talking to a leading daily,  Mustafa Ghouse, chief executive of JSW Sports said that now that Chopra’s brand value has incraesed the old deals will also be revised.

“While we have requests from close to 80 brands, Neeraj has a limited number of free days between training camps in India and abroad over the next 12-14 months, so we have to be selective about signing on brands,” Ghouse added.

Earlier, Neeraj Chopra’s fees ranged from 15-25 lakhs but he has now entered the big leage. While Kohli and Dhoni take home between Rs 1 to 5 crore it is expected that Neeraj Chopra may get more than these two star cricketers.

According to Business Line, Neeraj Chopra has already inked a deal with TATA AIA Life. “Joining the Tata AIA family was a logical step for me. I firmly believe that there is a need to educate Indians, especially the youth, about the need for life insurance and to help them plan for their financial goals, at the right time,” Neeraj Chopra said about the partnership.

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.
