Social media company Facebook has banned Myanmar’s military from using the platform with immediate effect amid the ongoing conflict following a military coup in Myanmar. This means that Myanmar’s army will no longer be able to use Facebook and Instagram. The social media company said in a blog post that the ban became necessary due to other incidents, including violence, since the coup. The company said that it felt that allowing Myanmar’s military to use Facebook and Instagram was fatal.

The country’s army fell to power on February 1, overthrowing the government of the National League for Democracy (NLD). Several top leaders including the country’s supreme leader Aung San Suu Kyi were detained. Since then, a round of protests has continued throughout the country.

The army has been talking of rigging in the November 8 election. In this, Aung San Suu Kyi’s party won a big victory.  At least three protesters and a policeman have died in rallies in violence. Facebook said it would ban military-related advertising on its platforms. Myanmar’s Chief of the Defense Service Min Ong Henning has already been banned by Twitter and Facebook. The US has also banned them. They have been banned due to human rights violations. The US and many Western countries have appealed to Myanmar’s military government to cease violence and release political prisoners.

The US has already announced additional sanctions against Myanmar’s military rulers. The US has said that the Myanmar army should relinquish power and restore the democratically elected government.  Also said that he stands with the people of Myanmar as well as the supporters who are in favor of restoring the government ousted in the country.

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.
