Indian farmer abducted by Bangladeshi nationals
Agartala: Tension erupted along the India-Bangladesh border in Tripura after Bangladeshi nationals kidnapped an Indian farmer in retaliation to the arrest of a Bangladeshi man by BSF troopers, police said Thursday.
“BSF (Border Security Force) jawans during their routine patrolling along India-Bangladesh border at Mohanpur (western Tripura) Wednesday detained Bangladeshi national Sohel Mia, 42, along with a cow. He was later handed over to Tripura police,” a police official said.
“In retaliation to the arrest of Sohel Mia, Bangladeshi nationals kidnapped Rajkumar Sharma, 45, while he was returning from his paddy field Wednesday evening. He was dragged in deep inside the Bangladesh village,” he added.
Senior BSF and police officials have rushed to the spot, 35 km north of here, as tension is prevailing in and around the Mohanpur area.
The BSF officials Thursday held a flag meeting with the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) officials to resolve the issue.
The BSF officials said they have tightened their border vigil after recent incidents of border crimes.
Since April 6, seven Bangladeshi cattle thieves have been lynched by irate mobs in Tripura in three separate incidents. Tripura Police handed over the bodies to the Bangladesh police later.

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.
