Beyond a city landmark or the contentious Bobby case of 1983, a legendary Patna cop continues to stay afloat in public memory. Kishore Kunal, former Indian Police Service officer of the 1972 batch, had one such moment yesterday.
A pictorial map — sought to be presented as evidence by one of the Hindu petitioners in the Ayodhya case — was torn up by lawyer Rajeev Dhawan, representing the Muslim petitioners, in the Supreme Court. The Hindu Mahasabha had said the map showed the “exact location of Lord Ram’s birthplace” at the disputed site. The map was from a book written by Kunal titled Ayodhya Revisited.
