Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said on Wednesday that the government will discuss whether it should set up private universities in Kerala.

“Kerala is the only state in the country that does not have a private university. In West Bengal, there are six and in Tripura there are two,” he said, referring to the other two states where Communists are strong.

“We will discuss this issue with all concerned at several levels before a decision is arrived at,” Chandy told reporters.

The Kerala State Higher Education Council wants private universities to come up in the state.

But Education Minister P.K. Abdu Rabb is opposed to private universities.

“This is my personal view and is not important because it is the state government which will take the final decision,” said Rabb.

Chandy will now place a report submitted by the Council before the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF).

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.
