'Congress-SP alliance in UP depends on BJP's green signal'Lucknow: Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over demonetisation, BSP chief Mayawati on Monday alleged that the BJP, Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) were having a tacit understanding for the upcoming assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh. Amid reports that the Congress and the ruling Samajwadi Party were negotiating to contest the next year’s Uttar Pradesh assembly elections as allies, Mayawati alleged such an alliance was dependent on a green signal from the Bharatiya Janata Party.

“The SP and Congress have been attempting to forge an alliance but that will materialise only when the BJP gives the green signal for it. And the BJP will give the green signal only when it is sure that such an alliance will actually benefit them,” the Bahujan Samaj Party chief told the media.  “The SP-Congress alliance entirely depends on whether the BJP stands to gain from it or not,” she said, urging the Muslim voters to vote only for the BSP which endeavours to ensure their welfare.

Continuing her attack against demonetisation, Mayawati said the hasty decision has now turned into the proverbial “albatross around the neck” for Modi.  “To divert the public attention from the promises made in the Lok Sabha polls, Modi without any preparation and in haste implemented demonetisation which has now become a ‘gale ki haddi’ (albatross around the neck),” said Mayawati, who has been up in arms against the Centre following the November 8 demonetisation of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 currency notes.

“Over 90 per cent of the poor, farmers, labourers, other working classes and the middle class are yet to overcome from the strong effects of the demonetisation despite the 50 days’ time sought by Modi nearing an end,” she said.  “The people of Uttar Pradesh, in the polls, will hand them (BJP) the punishment they deserve,” added Mayawati.

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.
