Star wrestler Bajrang Punia crashed out of contention for gold at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday after losing 12-5 to Rio 2016 bronze medallist and three-time world champion Haji Aliyev of Azerbaijan in the men’s 65kg semi-final. Bajrang, the second seed in the 65kg weight class, will now face either Kazakhstan’s Daulat Niyazbekov or Senegal’s Adama Diatta in the bronze medal match on Saturday.

Bajrang took the lead in the first period with a point via the passivity rule but Aliyev then got behind him to take two points for himself. Aliyev then got two more, thus ending the first period with a 4-1 lead.

Aliyev got two more immediately after resumption and then caught Bajrang in an ankle lace to take his lead up to 8-1. Bajrang managed to take two points by getting behind his opponent before trying to get a point by pushing Aliyev out of bounds, However, Aliyev turned him and pushed Bajrang out instead to get one point himself to make it 9-3. Bajrang reduced that gap to 9-5.

Aliyev increased his lead to 12-5 and Bajrang’s corner had a last-second appeal turned down.

Bajrang stormed to the semi-final with a victory via fall over Iran’s Morteza Ghiasi in quarter-final. Bajrang was trailing 0-1 throughout the bout but managed to pin Ghiasi in the second period and sealed the victory.

He earlier beat Kazakhstan’s Ernazar Akmataliev in the pre-quarters by criteria. Bajrang raced to a 3-1 lead in the first period of his first round bout.

Akmataliev, however, came back by pushing Bajrang out of bounds twice in the second period. Bajrang somehow managed to defend the last eight seconds successfully, thus taking the bout on criteria with the scoreline 3-3.

Bajrang came into the Tokyo Olympics as one India’s biggest medal hopes. He won gold at the 2018 Asian Games then won silver at the 2019 World Championships. The latter result helped him qualify for the Olympics.

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.
