YSRCP leader stopped from attending Women’s Parliament
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh police on Saturday detained opposition YSR Congress Party leader Roja as she was proceeding to attend National Women’s Parliament at Amaravati. The actress-turned-politician was detained for more than an hour at Gannavaram Airport here and was later forcibly taken towards an undisclosed location. She informed media houses that she was being taken towards Ongole in a vehicle. Roja entered into heated argument with police officials for detaining her though she was invited to attend the Women’s Parliament and she had the invitation and entry pass.
Several YSRCP leaders including women legislators rushed to the airport and alleged that Roja was Akidnapped. On the other hand, ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) alleged that she was coming to disrupt the event. Roja, a member of Andhra Pradesh assembly, said the incident proved what kind of security women enjoyed in the state. She said the government was trying to prevent her from speaking truth at the conclave. She said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Speaker Kodela Sivaprasad Rao had no moral right to organize the Women’s Parliament.
She said the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government was not sincere about women’s empowerment and wanted to know why leaders like Brinda Karat and AMedha Patkar, who were working for the cause, were not invited to the event. She claimed that National Women’s Parliament has turned into a show of family of members of some leaders. She pointed out that daughter-in-law of Chandrababu Naidu and daughters of central minister M. Venkaiah Naidu and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao addressed the conclave. More than 10,000 women delegates from across India and abroad are participating in three-day Women’s Parliament, which began on Friday.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
