A day after Ben Cutting and Sohail Tanvir were involved in a heated exchange during a group match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL), both Cutting and Tanvir have been fined 15% of their match fees for using a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting.

The incident occurred in the second last over of Zalmi’s inning, when Cutting, after smashing Tanvir for three consecutive sixes, made inappropriate gestures using his fingers, while the bowler seemed to laugh it off. However, Tanvir also made a similar gesture after catching Cutting off Naseem Shah on the first ball of the final over.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in an official statement said, “Ben Cutting of Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators’ Sohail Tanvir have both been fined 15% of their match fees for breaching a Level 1 offence of the HBL PSL code of conduct in separate incidents during their side’s match in the HBL Pakistan Super League 2022,”

“Both the players were found to have violated Article 2.6 of the HBL PSL code of conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to ‘using a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during a PSL Match,'” the statement added.

No formal hearing after both players pled guilty

As both Cutting  and Tanvir pled guilty to the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed to be imposed by match referee Ali Naqvi, no formal hearing about the incident was conducted.

The statement also quoted Naqvi saying: “Such type of inappropriate gestures have no space in this great sport. The players need to always understand and remember their on and off the field responsibilities as they are role models and behaviour like this sends out a wrong message to the younger generation of cricketers.”

“The HBL PSL 2022 is being played in good, positive spirits and I would like to see the players continue to fight hard inside the field of play but at the same time to remain within the parameters of the spirit of the game,” he added.

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.
