Furor in Pakistan’s minority Sikh community rose once again after a young Sikh girl married a Muslim boy and embraced Islam. The incident happened in Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev. The location in the past has reported such instances. The development has caused tension between the two local communities.

Sources in Nankana Sahib informed Zee Media that teenage Sikh girl Rajmeet Kaur was in a relationship with Zunaid, a teenage boy who lived in her neighborhood.

“On December 7 both of them eloped to a nearby city Jaranwala in Faisalabad district where Rajmeet embraced Islam in a mosque and was rechristened as Zannat Bibi and then she married Zunaid,” said sources.

They further informed that fearing her parents may forcibly take her away, Zannat Bibi moved an application in court seeking security.

Rajmeet’s father Ranjit Singh has sought the help of community members who took up the issue with the parents of Zunaid and local Muslim elders but nothing concrete happened to defuse the situation.

Anticipating the issue taking a communal color and outpouring of religious emotions, the administration of both Nankana Sahib and Faisalabad intervened and took the couple in their ‘protection’.

Sources informed that they also called their parents to strike a truce between them.

“Girl is adamant on going with her husband but her parents are not ready so the administration has decided to send her to Darul Uloom in Lahore. But this was objected to by both the girl and her parents so she may not meet the fate of Jagjit Kaur who had to spend a considerable time in Darul U Amaan before being sent with her husband,” said sources.

In the past, Jagjit Kaur alias Ayesha Bibi’s case had grabbed headlines when she embraced Islam and married a Muslim boy Mohammad Hassan leading to acrimony between two communities to an extent that the local Muslim mob even attacked Gurdwara Nankana Sahib and threatened to change the name of Nankana Sahib to Ghulam-e-Mustafa.

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.
