Tripura’s Dhalai district

Agartala: Normal life was affected in Tripura’s Dhalai district on Wednesday due to a 12-hour shutdown called by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in protest against the killing of one of its local leaders. Police said more than 200 activists of the BJP were arrested for picketing in front of government offices and markets during the dawn-to-dusk strike.

“Most shops and markets were closed and attendance in the government offices and banks was less. Most schools and educational institutions in the Dhalai district were closed,” a police official said. However, movement of traffic on National Highway-8 (previously NH 44), the lifeline of Tripura, was normal.

BJP leaders alleged that the party’s Yuva Morcha leader, Chan Mohan Tripura, had gone to see a mentally disturbed man, Biswada Tripura, in the latter’s home at Gandachara in Dhalai district on Monday night. Biswada hit Chan Mohan with a wooden article killing him on the spot. Police have arrested the accused.

A BJP delegation led by the party’s state Vice-President Subal Bhowmik visited the tension-ridden areas and alleged that the members of the ruling CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) were behind the incident.

The CPI-M in a statement said that the BJP is doing politics over a non-political incident. “BJP is trying to make an issue over this killing though everybody is aware that the mentally sick man killed Chan Mohan,” the statement said and urged the people to foil the BJP-sponsored shutdown.

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.
