Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday lashed out at the Centre after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached properties owned by one of his relatives in connection with a money laundering case.

Addressing the state legislative assembly, CM Thackeray said that if the BJP wants to form a government in Maharashtra and he is “in their way”, the central government can put him behind bars but should not defame his family members.

“You are misusing your powers. Come! Let’s fight man to man. I am ready to go to prison. Defaming families won’t affect us. You are making lists of accused and giving them to the ED. You are the complainant, you are the investigator. Is it ED or domestic help? We have faith in the law and judiciary, we will face this,” he said.

Opposition leaders, on the other hand, have been demanding the removal of NCP leader Nawab Malik from the state Cabinet.

Speaking on the issue, CM Uddhav Thackeray asked whether central agencies were sleeping when Malik contested elections and became a minister.

“You are demanding Nawab Malik’s resignation. If he is guilty, he will resign. One thing that amazes me is that the central agencies are so hollow that Nawab Malik, who, according to you, is Dawood’s henchman, travelled all over Mumbai and the country and was elected four or five times. What were agencies doing,” he asked.

The chief minister of Maharashtra also said that central agencies have not been able to catch Dawood Ibrahim but are busy chasing his alleged henchman.

“When the late Gopinath Munde was the deputy chief minister, he used to say, we will get Dawood. Now, Dawood is taking us behind him. We are looking for his accomplices. Did Obama ask for votes in Osama’s name? They sent troops and broke into bin Laden’s house. This is called manhood,” CM Uddhav Thackeray said.

He added, “Till these many years, you asked for votes in the name of Ram Mandir, now are you going to get votes on Dawood’s name? Just like Obama killed Osama, you kill Dawood. You do nothing, you accuse us. I honestly say we are against traitors. There is no quarrel about that. You are demanding Malik’s resignation. Mehbooba Mufti opposed the execution of Afzal Guru and you (BJP) formed a government with her.”

The Maharashtra CM also said that the BJP has honest politicians.

“Those from our party who went to BJP now sleep peacefully. Have you started ‘human laundering’ like money laundering,” he asked.

Referring to a photo of him with one of the accused in a case under investigation by the ED, CM Uddhav Thackeray said, “Tomorrow, if someone has a photo with Modi, will you say that even he has a connection with the accused?”

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.
