A 31-year-old Hindu journalist in Pakistan was shot dead by unidentified assailants while getting a haircut at a barbershop in the country’s Sindh province.

Ajay Lalvani, a reporter with the local ‘Royal News’ television station and an Urdu language newspaper ‘Daily Puchano’, died on Thursday after he sustained bullet injuries in the stomach, arm, and knee, the News International reported.

The incident took place in the Saleh Pat area of the city of Sukkur.

He was sitting at a barbershop when assailants on two bikes and a car drove by and opened fire. Lalvani was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died.

Meanwhile, Lal Chand Malhi, a Hindu member of Pakistan’s National Assembly (MNA), condemned the killing on Twitter.

“Strongly condemn the killing of yet another journalist Ajay Kumar at Saleh Pat, Sindh. It is a matter of great concern that media persons are increasingly feeling unsafe in Sindh. Offered condolence to the heirs of the victim. Police should (go) beyond forming committees,” he wrote.

A group of journalists, holding the police responsible for the incident, protested against Lalvani’s killing and carried out a march, claiming that it was a targetted killing.

The police have registered an FIR and launched an investigation to find the motive of the crime.

Meanwhile, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an American independent non-profit organisation, urged authorities in Sindh province to “immediately launch a credible investigation” and apprehend those responsible for the killing.

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.
