The UP MLC polls results have been announced and BJP has won six out of the nine seats in the graduate and the teachers` constituencies where results have been declared.

In Lucknow, after a marathon counting of more than 80 hours, Avanish Kumar Singh of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged victorious in the graduate constituency by a margin of 6,403 votes against sitting MLC Kanti Singh, whose family had held the seat for 18 years.

In Meerut, another graduate constituency dominated for 24 years by Hem Singh Pundhir of Madhyamik Siksha Sangh, BJP candidate Dinesh Goyal won by a huge margin of 28,769 votes.

The BJP has won three out of the six teachers` seats from Lucknow, Meerut and Bareilly-Moradabad.

This was the first time that the BJP had contested a teachers` constituency. And its strong showing is likely to further impact “teachers` politics” in the state.

Among the four graduates` seats, the BJP won from Agra and Meerut. While the Samajwadi Party (SP) added to their tally in Allahabad-Jhansi and Varanasi divisions. Both the graduates` seats won by the SP were earlier held by the BJP. But the saffron party also won from Agra, which had earlier elected an SP candidate.

While the BJP’s victory in these elections has ended the decades-old dominance of family satraps, there were setbacks for the ruling party in Varanasi where the three-term sitting MLC Kedarnath Singh lost to Samajwadi Party debutant Ashutosh Sinha in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency.

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.
