Three local militants affiliated with Al-Badr outfit were killed in a pre-dawn encounter with security forces in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Wednesday while a civilian was also injured in the incident.

The encounter erupted after Army’s 55-Rashtriya Rifles and J&K police launched a cordon-and-search operation (CASO) in Tiken, Pulwama, 32 km from here, during wee hours of Wednesday following ‘specific’ information about the presence of militants there, police said.

During the search operation, militants fired at the forces triggering a gun battle in which three militants were killed while a civilian was injured. Inspector General Police (IGP), Kashmir, Vijay Kumar while confirming the death of three militants in the encounter said they were locals and affiliated with Al-Badr outfit.

Since the beginning of district development council (DDC) polls in Kashmir in the last week of November, there has been a decline in anti-militancy operations by the security forces.

Today’s encounter was the first between militants and security forces in December. A senior police officer said the focus of security agencies was to ensure violence-free polls at the moment “due to which hot-pursuit of militants has been stopped for some time.” “However, wherever any information regarding the movement of militants is received, security forces act accordingly.

The anti-militancy operations will increase as soon the DDC polls end,” he added. This year security forces have killed 201 militants, including 30 foreigners, in 90 operations across Jammu and Kashmir. As many as 157 militants were killed in Kashmir in 2019 while the number was 257 in 2018 which was the highest in a decade.

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.
