India’s T20I captain Rohit Sharma joined the deluge of tributes flowing for former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Friday. Rohit said that there haven’t too many cricketers who have had an impact on the game like De Villiers.

De Villiers is known to have revolutionized batting in the shorter formats with his innovative shots alongwith being among South Africa’s highest run scorers in Test cricket.

“Not many people have had the impact on the game like AB did. It was indeed a pleasure to watch him play from the other side. Happy retirement AB, best wishes to and your family @ABdeVilliers17,” said Rohit in his tweet.

De Villiers, 37, said that the “flame” in him for playing cricket “no longer burns so brightly” which is why he decided to retire. “Ever since the backyard matches with my older brothers, I have played the game with pure enjoyment and unbridled enthusiasm. Now, at the age of 37, that flame no longer burns so brightly,” he said in his statement.

“Cricket has been exceptionally kind to me. Whether playing for the Titans, or the Proteas, or RCB, or around the world, the game has given me unimagined experiences and opportunities, and I will always be grateful.”

The decision also brought to an end a 10-year tenure for de Villiers with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He scored 4491 runs for RCB and finishes his Indian Premier League (IPL) career with 5162 runs. In international cricket, he scored 672 runs in 78 T20Is, 9577 runs in 228 ODI matches and 8765 runs in 114 Tests.

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.
