Shimla: British police have sent to Himachal Pradesh Police a DVD purporting to show that the George Cross awarded to a pre-independence Indian soldier was “gifted” by his widow to a man who is accused of stealing it, an official said here Tuesday.
“The DVD has footage of Brahmi Devi, the accused Kirpal Singh and some locals belonging to Brahmi’s village,” Deputy Inspector General (Criminal Investigation) N. Venugopal said. However, he added, “The conversation mostly seems to be one-sided and contains no substantial evidence that she had gifted the medal to Kirpal Singh, as he claimed during his interrogation.”
“Kirpal was repeating just one line (as shown in the DVD) time and again that Brahmi Devi gifting the medal to him. She was not responding,” he said. Sources in police here said the DVD was handed over to the British police by Ashok Nath, who had listed the medal for auction at Britain’s leading auction house Dix Noonan Webb on Decrmbrt 2, 2009.Read Full Story
