Lucknow: No less than 12 people have been killed and 10 others wounded after a tourist bus, which include Chinese nationals collided into a jeep in Uttar Pradesh’s Balrampur district.

The accident apparently occurred due to dense fog in the morning.

A police official told the tourist bus had more than two dozen Chinese tourists who were travelling to Sarnath, a city 13 km from Varanasi, for a day on the Buddhist circuit. Except the bus driver, who suffered some injuries, all passengers were safe.

Though none of the bus passengers suffered serious injuries, 11 people travelling in the jeep died on the spot. One person died while being taken to hospital.

In separate incidents, dense fog and poor visibility also led to two other accidents in different parts of the state, leaving three people dead.

Police have urged people to drive slowly on highways as poor visibility is fraught with risks.

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.
