Rajasthan: Property worth crores named after pigeons in this town
One might have come across hundreds of stories of industrialists who are billionaires in Rajasthan, but only a few would be aware of the fact that even pigeons are millionaires in the state’s small-town Jasnagar situated in Nagaur district.
The pigeons in Jasnagar town in Rajasthan own properties worth crores of rupees and are referred to as – Multimillionaire pigeons.
These pigeons own several shops, lands stretched to several kilometres and cash deposits too. While pigeons have 27 shops on their name, they also have 126 bigha land and cash deposit worth Rs 30 lakh in their ‘possession’.
The Jasnagar’s Multimillionaire pigeons also own over 400 gaushalas, which are also being operated on 10 bigha land.
According to a IANS report, Prabhusingh Rajpurohit said that around four decades back, a new industrialist floated a Kabutaran Trust here and the arrangement was made after taking inspiration from our ancestors, as well as from former sarpanch Ramdin Chotiya and his guru Marudhar Kesari, who inspired all of us to arrange for food and water for the mute birds.
Industrialist Sajjanraj Jain was the pioneer in the project, he added.
The reports also said that people donated with open hearts as soon as the project was floated. Now, a gaushala is being run on this land owned by pigeons in which 500 cows stay. All medical arrangements have been made for these bovines here.
With the help of a huge donation, around 27 shops were built in the town via the trust to ensure the protection of pigeons as well as to make sure that the birds get regular grain and water. In fact, the trust was named after pigeons and hence is called as kabutaran trust (Kabutar means pigeon in Hindi).
Notably, the shops are earning a rent of Rs 80,000 per month. Also, the land is being rented and hence it also gives a regular income to the trust. All this income is being deposited in the bank which over the years has increased to Rs 30 lakh.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
