Lucknow: Normal life was disrupted in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday as banks and post offices were closed and public transport went off the roads during a nationwide strike called by trade unions.

The impact of the strike was visible in cities like Lucknow, Varanasi, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Meerut, Bareilly and Agra. There were reports of minor scuffles between protesters and police in Noida bordering Delhi.

Central trade unions called the strike to protest against changes in labour laws and privatisation of public sector undertakings among other demands.

Employees of post offices and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd struck work. They later took out a protest march from the GPO to Lalbagh here.

The Uttar Pradesh Roadways employees marched in Kanpur and held a ‘chakka jam’ in the city during which they forced people to get off private buses.

Angry over disrupted bus service, some people attacked drivers at a Varanasi depot and a few auto-rickshaw drivers too.

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.
