Srinagar: The night temperature continued its free fall below the freezing point in Srinagar Monday, reaching the lowest this season so far, while Leh slipped to a bone-chilling minus 12 degrees Celsius.

“The minimum temperature in Srinagar city was minus 1.4 degrees Celsius during the night, the coldest recorded so far this season,” a Met department official told.

“The minimum temperature recorded in Gulmarg and Pahalgam was minus 1.8 and minus 4.4, respectively, while Leh town in the Ladakh region recorded minus 12 degrees Celsius during the night.”

In Kargil, the night temperature was minus 10.5 degrees Celsius, he said.

“Jammu recorded a minimum of 7.9 which is the lowest recorded there this season so far,” he added.

The official said minimum temperatures are likely to drop further as weather is expected to remain dry during the next three days.

What came as a relief to motorists and commuters in Srinagar Monday morning was the absence of intense fog that had become a regular feature in the city and its outskirts during the last fortnight.

Kashmir has been witnessing early winter and cold wave conditions this season, which is attributed by Met officials to unprecedented rain during the month of September.

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.
