Parkash Singh BadalChandigarh : Nearly 15,000 Aam Aadmi Party activists on Monday marched towards Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s residence here to protest but Chandigarh Police stopped them at the city’s border with Mohali town of Punjab.

Later, a delegation of AAP leaders, including Sanjay Singh, in charge of the party’s affairs in Punjab, state convenor Sucha Singh Chottepur, MP Bhagwant Mann and actor-comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi, was escorted by police to meet acting Punjab Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki to submit a memorandum against the Badal government.

The protestors are seeking a high-level probe into the Rs.12,000-crore scam of ‘missing’ food grain.

Security in and around Chandigarh was tightened on Monday ahead of the AAP protest against the Punjab government’s alleged failure to probe the food grain scam and curb the menace of drugs, mafia and corruption.

The area around the official residences of the chief minister and his son and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal in the upscale Sector 2 was barricaded by Chandigarh Police. Scores of police personnel, many of them in anti-riot gear, were also deployed.

Chandigarh Police personnel were also deployed around the Haryana Raj Bhavan, the official residence of Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki, in Sector 6.

Security was also increased at all entry points to Chandigarh, the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, to stop the AAP activists from moving in close to the VIP residences.

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had cancelled all his official engagements for Monday to receive AAP leaders who wished to protest outside his official residence.

In the past, Badal stayed at his official residence to meet Congress leaders protesting outside.

Elections to the Punjab assembly are likely to be held in February next year.

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.
