Accord must exclude Naga-inhabited areas in Assam: Gogoi
Guwahati: The Assam government welcomes the Naga peace accord signed by the central government and the NSCN-IM only if its framework excludes areas inhabited by Nagas in Assam, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said on Tuesday.
“The government of Assam definitely welcomes the Naga peace accord if the framework for any settlement excludes the extended areas of Naga inhabitation in Assam,” Gogoi said in a statement.
He said it augured well if the Naga peace accord led to the settlement of all vexed issues thus eventually paving the way for peace, progress and prosperity in Nagaland and the region as a whole.
The Centre and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) signed the accord on August 3.
Though the details have not been made available, the central government has said it was only a framework agreement and further discussions would be held before the final accord was signed.

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.
