Mumbai: Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated with much fanfare throughout parts of the country on Thursday, with the festivities to continue for the next 10 days. And Bollywood celebrities are participating in this joyous occasion with great zeal and vigour.

Actors such as Nana Patekar, Jeetendra, Tusshar Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Salman Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Govinda among others welcomed the beloved god home.

Some of them shared their fondest memories from the festival.

“Most of the families used to have Ganpati and pujas in our Girgaon chawl. When the pujas were going on, our group of boys would try to find which house had the best prasad. And we would try to see where the aarti was at the climax, because we didn’t want to attend the whole aarti,” Jeetendra said.

“We used to reach during the climax, take Prasad and then run away. I have a sweet tooth, so wherever there would be laddoos, pedas and other sweets, I would eat a lot,” he added.

His son Tusshar Kapoor added: “We’ve been celebrating the festival over the years and every year, all friends from our building and cousins would come over to celebrate with us. We would keep it for five days so for the whole duration, it used to be a festive and lively atmosphere. As kids, we especially loved to have people come over, do puja and enjoy the environment and have a lot of modaks.”

“Krrish 3” actor Vivek Oberoi shared: “The place where we stayed earlier in Juhu had a kind of a wall. We all children would sit on that wall and look at all gigantic statues of 30-40 feet while they were proceeding for visarjans.”

“We would really enjoy watching them. I love having modaks and always get scolded for breaking my diet restrictions by having too many but I tell them that we need to take inspiration from Ganpati too,” he added.

Most of the Bollywood celebrities also wished their fans on social media on the occasion of the festival.

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.
