Fears of a Russian invasion in Ukraine continue to soar despite Moscow denying the same. On Tuesday, Russia said it had started pulling its troops from the Ukraine border, even though the Vladimir Putin government refused to answer how many of them were being withdrawn.

This comes amid an alleged cyber attack on government websites with Ukraine raising its fingers towards Russia for the same. United States President Joe Biden said an invasion in Ukraine is still a distinct possibility.

According to media reports, as many as 1,30,000 Russian troops had been amassed near Ukraine’s borders. The build-up has triggered one of the deepest crises in East-West relations since the Cold War.

As tensions between both the countries remain high, here are the latest developments:

> The Ukrainian government on Tuesday pointed its fingers at Russia for a cyber attack. Hours after Moscow’s announcement of pulling back troops, the Kyiv government said websites of Ukraine’s defence ministry and armed forces, as well as two state banks, were hit by a cyberattack that could have origins in Russia.

> The United States said an invasion by Russia is still a distinct possibility. Addressing reporters at the White House, Biden said, “Invasion remains distinctly possible. That’s why I’ve asked several times that all Americans in Ukraine leave now before it’s too late to leave safely.” Correlating the current crisis with World War II, Biden said the Second World War was a war of necessity, “but if Russia attacked Ukraine, it would be a war of choice or a war without cause or reason.”

> The US President also urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to step back from war with Ukraine. Biden said if Russia invades Ukraine, the US and its allies are prepared to respond with penalties that are aimed at exacting economic pain and global isolation.

> Meanwhile, Putin said the country does not want a war with Europe, adding the current conflict can be resolved through diplomacy with the West.

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.
