Lucknow: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will organise a fund-raiser lunch with traders, government employees and the common people here Dec 27. The event will offer an ‘AAP thali’ for Rs.11,000 to raise funds for Delhi polls, an organiser said.

Former Delhi chief minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal was supposed to take part, but he would now be represented by his close aide Manish Sisodia, who will be accompanied by senior party leaders Sanjay Singh and Ashutosh.

Accusing the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of being funded by the corporate world, the AAP said it was collecting money for its Delhi poll campaign through such dinners.

“We do not have the plush funding of corporates and neither do we want it. So, the party has decided to reach out to the common man for raising funds,” said Vaibhav Maheshwari, a member of the National Council of the party.

Confirming that Kejriwal will not be able to attend, Maheshwari told that the national convener has sent a letter appealing more and more people to join the lunch event.

Members of the oranising committee of the fund-raiser lunch said the party has floated two helpline numbers for bookings.

The base price of the fund-raiser is Rs.11,000 and the funds can be deposited with the AAP through cheques, cash, bank drafts and even through online transfers.

AAP contested the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh earlier this year with all its might, but lost in all constituencies from where it contested.

All its candidates lost their deposits and barring Kejriwal, who contested against then BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Varanasi, none of its candidates could garner votes.

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.
