New Delhi: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh has moved a special court here, alleging that the CBI did not furnish to him a complete copy of the first information report (FIR) in a disproportionate assets case against him and his wife.

In his application before Special Judge Vinod Kumar, Virbhadra Singh urged that directions be issued to the Central Bureau of Investigation to file a complete copy of the FIR in the case.

The chief minister said that the annexures, as mentioned in para five of the FIR, were not sent to the court along with the FIR’s copy.

The court asked the CBI to file reply on his plea and listed the matter for November 6.

Virbhadra Singh last week inspected the judicial records of the case in pursuance to the court’s order dated September 28.

In June, the CBI initiated a preliminary inquiry against Virbhadra Singh and his wife on charge of acquisition of assets disproportionate to known sources of income during his tenure as the union steel minister.

The case was registered on September 23 under the Prevention of Corruption Act against the former union minister, his wife Pratibha Singh, LIC agent Anand Chauhan and an associate Chunnilal.

The CBI raided Virbhadra Singh’s residences in Delhi and Himachal Pradesh, including Holly Lodge in Jakhu Hills of Shimla, on September 26 while he and his family were busy with his daughter’s marriage.

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.
