BBL_ButailShimla : Himachal Pradesh assembly Speaker B.B.L. Butail, overcome with emotion on Wednesday due to frequent disruptions of the house by the opposition BJP over the disproportionate assets cases against Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, was later hospitalised.

Butail was taken to the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital here for a health check-up, and was admitted to the cardiac care unit.

As the house assembled, the septuagenarian speaker appealed to the opposition to allow the house to work cordially for the remaining two days.

Referring to the decision taken at the all-party meeting convened by him on Tuesday, Butail asked members to work cordially in the house. During his around 15-minute address, he turned emotional and his voice chocked many times.

When Butail was not able to speak smoothly, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members, including two-time former chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, requested him to calm down.

Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh was not in the house at that time.

Minister Kaul Singh also asked the speaker to take rest in his chamber as he was too emotional to speak normally. The minister suggested that Deputy Speaker Jagat Singh Negi could preside over the house.

Later, Butail left the house, and even while moving out of the house, he made a fervent appeal again for smooth functioning of the house.

Dhumal also left the house and enquired about Butail’s well-being.

Virbhadra Singh, who was in his office, also visited the speaker’s chamber.

For last one week, the Himachal Pradesh assembly has witnessed sloganeering, ruckus, adjournments and walkouts with the BJP demanding a debate on the fresh revelations over the Enforcement Directorate probing the chief minister for money laundering.

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.
