Karnataka law minister says that action will be taken against those allegedly involved in assaulting the Muslim vendor
Karnataka Law Minister JC Madhuswamy said on Monday that action will be taken against those who allegedly assaulted Muslim fruit vendors outside a temple in Karnataka’s Dharwad city. He called the act “uncivilised” and said that “everyone has the right to do trade”.
“This is uncivilised. Do we know that every day something or another will happen? After it happens, we need to find a solution for it…A few people are engaging in notoriety,” Madhuswamy said.
“If someone, somewhere does some notoriety, how do you suppose that the government will react immediately? Now that it has been brought to our notice, we will take action. We will take action on those who commit such acts,” Madhuswamy said.
Madhuswamy also said that “publicly humiliating or boycotting is wrong” and that everyone has the right to do trade.
“What they are doing is wrong. Everyone has a constitutional right to live in this country. Similarly, everyone has the right to do trade,” Madhuswamy said.
“Worshipping is a private right. In the confines of their homes, they can follow what they want. Publicly humiliating or boycotting someone is wrong and our constitution does not support it. It is wrong. We will control all of it,” Madhuswamy said.

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.
