Panneerselvam revolted only after losing CM post: AIADMK

Chennai: The revolt by Tamil Nadu former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam against AIADMK General Secretary V.K. Sasikala is being opportunistic and fuelled by other forces, said a spokesperson of the ruling party on Wednesday. “Only when his Chief Minister post was taken away he is raising his voice. But that, too after he had submitted his resignation and sending a ‘thank you for your cooperation letter’ to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Governor Ch. Vidyasagar Rao,” Avadi Kumar, spokesperson for AIADMK said.

On Tuesday night Panneerselvam dropped the “Paneer Bomb” with his dramatic statement that he was forced to resign as the Chief Minister after meditating for 40 minutes at late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa’s memorial. Kumar said Panneerselvam wrote a letter to Modi after resigning his post on his own choice and there was no compulsion on him not to write such a letter. “He was acting alone, pursuing his own interests. The party did not gain any goodwill by his acts but on the other hand the party had to face the brunt of the government actions — like the police action against the Jallikattu-bull taming sport protestors,” Kumar said.

Pointing out Panneerselvam’s own statement that he was asked to propose the name of Sasikala for the post of General Secretary and later for Chief Minister Position, Kumar said: “What prevented him from opposing the move at the first instance itself.” Kumar also wondered as to the reason for the continued absence of the Governor at a time when there is only a caretaker government in the state. “We did not know where to reach him and give him the letter of support of legislators for Sasikala, who can stake her claim to form the next government,” Kumar said. At a time when a political change is happening in the state, the Governor goes from Coimbatore to Delhi and then to Mumbai. He said this shows that the BJP and the Centre are fishing in the troubled waters.

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.
