srinagarSrinagar : Talks between the government and the non-local students of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) here have failed to end the deadlock as the boys and girls stuck to their demands, including shifting the institute out of the Valley.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is expected to fly down to the summer capital Srinagar from Jammu, a day after her deputy Nirmal Singh met representatives of protesting non-local students and held five-hour long talks with them on Friday.

Education Minister Naeem Akhtar, a three-member team of union human resources development ministry, NIT-Srinagar Director Rohit Gupta and senior civil and police officers were also present in the meeting held at Nirmal SinghÂ’s official residence here.

Nirmal Singh said most of the demands of the agitating students had been accepted, but they were told that shifting of the NIT outside the valley “was out of question”.

With regard to the students’ demand that action be taken against local policemen, they were told that a magisterial probe was going on and its findings will determine who needs to be proceeded against, he said.

Nirmal Singh allayed the fears of the protesting students that FIRs had been registered against them.

“Those FIRs are open and nobody’s name appears in them,” he told the agitating students. NIT officials have confirmed that some injured students wanted to go home and arrangements have been made for this.

Trouble began after some students of NIT-Srinagar allegedly celebrated India’s loss to the West Indies in a T20 cricket match last week. Non-local students objected to the celebrations and countered them with their own demonstration in India’s support.

The non-local students alleged that they were beaten up by Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel and have been demanding that the college may be shifted to a safer place outside the valley.

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.
