The former minister in Yogi Adityanath government and Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya has raised questions on electronic voting machines (EVMs), days after SP lost in the 2022 UP Assembly polls. The SP leader who was contesting from the Fazilnagar seat had himself lost the elections.

The SP leader wrote on social media app Koo said, “The Samajwadi Party won on 304 seats in the ballot paper counting while the BJP won on just 99 seats. However, when the counting was done from EVM, the BJP won. This means there is some foul play in this.”

The former Minister in the Yogi Adityanath cabinet had rebelled and switched over to the Samajwadi Party a few days before the polls alleging the backwards and Dalits were being ignored in the Yogi government. Maurya who was a sitting three-time MLA from Padrauna seat of Kushinagar changed his seat and contested from Fazilnagar instead. Maurya was defeated by BJP’s Surendra Kumar Kushwaha by a margin of more than 45,000 votes.

However, now there are speculations about Maurya contesting from Karhal as Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is said to retain his parliamentary seat of Azamgarh.

In case the SP chief resigns from the Karhal seat, it is speculated that Swami Prasad Maurya may be fielded from this ‘safe’ seat in an attempt to give a strong message to the OBC voters in the state.

The BJP along with its alliances had won 273 Assembly seats breaking the jinx that those in power changed by the people of UP every five years. The BJP alliance had won more than 320 seats in the 2017 State Assembly elections. While the Samajwadi Party alliance had managed to grab 125 seats increasing its tally from 47 seats.

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.
