AIMIM president Owaisi lashes out at BJP, AAP over Jahangirpuri demolition
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi continued his attack on the BJP and the AAP over the demolition of the encroachments in the violence-hit Jahangirpur area of Delhi. He also trained his guns on the Congress, raising the Turkman Gate demolition controversy during the Emergency of 1975-76.
“Turkman Gate 2022, history tells you those in power in 1976 are a spent force in present times, this BJP & AAP should be remember. Power is not eternal [sic],” he tweeted.
The Turkman Gate demolition of Delhi was infamous for alleged political oppression and massacre of slum dwellers when the Indira Gandhi government allegedly ordered the shooting of protesters who were agitating against the demolition of houses in the area.
The Supreme court has ordered a stay on the Jahangirpuri demolition drive that the North Delhi Municipal Corporation undertook on Wednesday, April 20, to remove encroachments. The SC ordered a status quo on the demolition drive till it heard the case on Thursday.
Jahangirpuri witnessed back-to-back incidents of violence on April 16, Hanuman Jayanti, and April 18. The Delhi BJP alleged that those accused of rioting in Jahangirpuri had built ‘illegal constructions’ in the area and demanded that they be demolished. The North Delhi Municipal Corporation later announced an anti-encroachment drive in the region on Wednesday and Thursday.
Earlier in the day, Owaisi said the BJP had declared “war against the poor”. He also targeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, calling his role in the encroachment drive “dubious”.

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.
