‘Don’t let UP, Bihar ke bhaiya enter Punjab’: CM Channi
Just days ahead of the polls, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said ‘don’t let UP, Bihar ke bhaiya enter Punjab’. While he made the remark, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi could be seen standing by him smiling and applauding.
The BJP has now hit back, saying the chief minister has insulted people from UP and Bihar. The BJP said Priyanka Gandhi has insulted the people of UP where the Congress is fighting the polls.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal also slammed Channi’s reported remark. He said, “It is very shameful. We strongly condemn comments aimed at any individual or any particular community. Priyanka Gandhi also belongs to UP, so she is also a bhaiya.”
Charanjit Singh Channi is the Congress’s official chief ministerial candidate in the Punjab election. His CM candidature was announced by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi earlier this month following a tele-voting conducted by the party. He secured more votes than Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu, who was pressing his nomination as the CM candidate for long.
With Channi’s nomination as the chief ministerial candidate, the Congress hopes to win over the Dalit voters of Punjab. Dalits make up more than 32 per cent of Punjab’s population. Channi became the first chief minister from Dalit community in Punjab, where Jat Sikhs dominated the political space.
Punjab is going to the polls on February 20 for all 117 seats in a multi-cornered contest between the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and a new alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s fledgling outfit Punjab Lok Congress.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
