With Pakistan winning the hosting rights for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the discussion among fans currently is of whether India would travel to Pakistan to take part in the tournament.

India last toured Pakistan in 2005-06 and since then the two teams have played fewer times in a bilateral series. Due to the political and border tensions between the two nations, the cricket activity is at a standstill as of now. However the two countries have continued to play each other in ICC tournaments.

Now with Pakstan hosting an ICC tournament which all Test playing nations have to take part in, it will be interesting to see what is going to be the stance of the BCCI as well as government of India.

Two days back, Indian Sports Minister Anurag Thakur was asked the same question and he said that this call has to be taken when the time comes. He added that security concerns have to be taken care of before deciding on touring Pakistan.

He said, “Even in past, many countries have refused to play in Pakistan due to security concerns. As you all know, many players were even attacked while playing over there and that’s a big issue to be dealt with.”

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has already said that the call to tour Pakistan rests in hands of the Indian government.

PCB boss Raja feels that it will not be easy for India to pull out of the mega event as teams are under a lot of pressure.

He told Pakistani media in an online conversation, “Bilateral series look very difficult but tri-nation could still be possible. When it comes to international tournaments, pulling out isn’t as easy as you are under a lot of pressure. When countries are given hosting rights for these tournaments, all of these things are discussed in advance. I don’t think it will happen (India pulling out of Asia Cup)”.

Raja added that he had met Ganguly recently and spoke about how to take the global game forward. He said that with cricketers at helm of things in administration, the talks will be easier.

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.
