The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday night announced 17 more candidates for the forthcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. The party declared all its nine candidates for the Lucknow seats but the names of Aparna Yadav, the daughter-in-law of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, and Rita Bahuguna Joshi’s son Mayank were missing.

The ‘chhoti bahu’ of Mulayam, who joined the saffron party last month, had contested the previous Uttar Pradesh elections from Lucknow Cantt but had lost to Rita Joshi. Reportedly, Aparna had urged the BJP high command to field her from the Lucknow Cantt seat.

Interestingly, Rita, who later became a Union Minister in the Modi Cabinet after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, also wanted her son Mayank to contest the polls from the same seat. It should be noted that the high-profile Lucknow Cantt segment is considered a safe seat for the BJP.

In place of Aparna and Rita’s son, the BJP has pinned its hopes in sitting MLA and state minister Brijesh Pathak in the Lucknow Cantt seat. “I respect the decision of the party,” said Rita, as reported by news agency ANI.

Ex-ED director Rajeshwar Singh fielded from Sarojini Nagar

Meanwhile, former Enforcement Directorate (ED) joint director Rajeshwar Singh has been fielded from the Sarojini Nagar seat as the party denied ticket to Assembly Speaker Hriday Narayan Dixit. The party has also denied ticket to Women Welfare Minister Swati Singh from Sarojini Nagar.

“We’ll contribute to governance and to the probes launched by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. He is doing great work against mafias. We need to support him. Also, we need to control growing communalism,” the ex-ED official told ANI.

“I will take forward BJP’s ideology of working for the future of country.”

Elections for the 403 assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases from February 10 to March 7. The fate of the candidates will be declared on March 10.

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.
