Srinagar: But for the scanty snowfall in the mountains, the Kashmir Valley’s eager wait for the season’s first snowfall ended in disappointment Wednesday.

There has been three inches deep snowfall in Gulmarg and a little snow around the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine in the Jammu region.

But in the plains, there was light to moderate rainfall during the last 24 hours and the weather is expected to start improving from Wednesday afternoon.

“We are expecting cold, dry weather in Jammu and Kashmir during the next four to five days”, said an official of the Indian Meteorological Department.

As people woke up in the morning in Srinagar and other places in the Kashmir Valley, they expectantly peeped out of their windows expecting snow on the ground since it was raining heavily Tuesday evening.

The hopes of season’s first snowfall in the plains, however, vanished as clouds started cracking up in the morning.

Due to overcast skies, the minimum temperatures improved throughout the state Wednesday.

Srinagar recorded the minimum temperature of 2.7 degrees Celsius while in Gulmarg and Pahalgam also mercury rose to minus 3.6 and 0.4 degrees respectively.

In Leh town, the minimum temperature rose remarkably to minus 3.4 degrees Celsius Wednesday. It was hovering around minus 12 degrees the past fortnight.

“Kargil town recorded minus 9 degrees Celsius, again showing signs of improvement over the average of minus 13 degrees since the last fortnight,” the weatherman said.

“Jammu city recorded 9.8 degrees Celsius today (Wednesday),” he added.

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.
