Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court Wednesday has taken suo moto cognizance of the murder inside a courtroom in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor district.

The court has sought a reply from the Director General of Police (DGP) and the principal Home Secretary on this by December 20. The court has also asked the state government to produce its safety plan for the district courts.

The bench comprising Justice Sudhir Agarwal and Justice Sunit Kumar has said that the government must give a security plan for the court premises.

Meanwhile, the state government has suspended 19 police personnel for dereliction of duty and laxity which led to the murder inside the courtroom.

It may be recalled that on Tuesday, one under trial was killed and another seriously injured when three persons opened fire inside the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Bijnor district.

A court clerk, Munish, was also injured in the firing while the CJM had to run for cover to save himself.

The shooters surrendered inside the court after executing the killing.

According to reports, the CJM was hearing the case related to the murder of Bahaujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Ehsaan and his nephew Shadaab in the district court when the incident took place.

The accused in this double murder, Shahnawaz and Jabbar, had been brought for hearing by the Delhi police that had arrested them a few months ago.

Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Tyagi told reporters that Sahil, son of slain Ehsaan, reached the court along with two of his friends and opened fire indiscriminately at Shahnawaz and Jabbar. About 20 rounds were fired by them.

Shahnawaz died on the spot, but Jabbar apparently ran away, taking advantage of the ensuing confusion.

The police immediately surrounded the courtroom, but the assailants did not flee and gave themselves up to the police.

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.
