Jats Thank Haryana CM for SBC assurance
Gurgaon: The Jat Sangharsh Samiti on Tuesday thanked Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for assuring Special Backward Class (SBC) status and compensation for those killed during the agitation by the community.
Addressing media persons, the Samiti’s national president Shri Ram Kataria said the Jats thank Khattar and the BJP’s central leadership for assuring SBC status in the state and inclusion in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) for central government jobs.
The Samiti said it will pay a compensation of Rs.2 lakh each to the kin of people killed during the 10-day agitation.
According to an industry body, the agitation caused losses of more than Rs.20,000 crore.
Jat leaders said they were thankful to Khattar for announcing Rs.10 lakh compensation and a government job for one relative of those killed in the violence.
Samiti general secretary R.S. Dahiya said the community had full faith in Khattar and the BJP’s central leaders, but warned that the Jats will go for a bigger agitation if the promises were not delivered upon.
Khattar, while visiting Rohtak on Tuesday, said 19 people were killed in the protests, but how many of them were Jats could not be established immediately.
The Samiti leaders, however, remained silent on why properties belonging to other castes were allegedly targeted.
They said Samiti leaders and volunteers will visit various parts of Haryana from Wednesday and request the people, who are still agitating, to call off the protest.
The Haryana government on February 19 had announced SBC status for Jats in the state but the stir continued. The government has assured of bringing a bill in the upcoming budget session in the assembly.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
