Police have arrested two members of the Pawai Pathak gang and recovered the stolen statue worth around Rs 7 lakh, made in Italy. The thieves had cut the statue into pieces after they stole it from the hotel by digging a tunnel at the back wall of the hotel.

The senior police inspector Jyoti Desai constituted a team of officers of the Aarey police station to investigate the incident. API Kholam’s team started investigating the incident under the direction of Jyoti Desai. From the CCTV footage, it was found that the statue had been dragged to the backyard of the hotel in the jungle.

The police found some broken pieces of the statue in the Bungda jungle of Aarey Colony. Then police recovered several pieces of the 300 kg statue from the nearby area in the jungle. The thieves had taken some pieces to Kurla Chor Bazar to sell them. The shopkeeper informed this piece of information to the police after they found some pieces from the Kurla area.

When the thieves were trying to carry the statue to Kurla market from the jungle, the police apprehended them. The security in-charge of the Imperial Hotel Shivkumar Sundarraj told the police that the hotel was closed during the lockdown and lots of theft were committed during that period and they are taking stock of the items. On many occasions, thieves took away bronze statues, imported decorative items and chandeliers and left them in the jungle.

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.
