Praising the struggle and sustained efforts of Priyanka Goswami and Shivpal Singh of Uttar Pradesh who recently qualified for Tokyo Olympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the entire country to bolster their enthusiasm and hailed their spirit as an inspiration for all during his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme on Sunday.

While talking about the athletes going for Tokyo Games from July 23 to August 8 in the Japanese capital, the Prime Minister picked life stories of race walker Priyanka Goswami and javelin thrower Shivpal Singh and gave a special mention to them by lauding their determination and perseverance while addressing the nation.

Muzaffarnagar’s Goswami, who would be competing in the 20km race walk event, comes from a humble background. Her father works as a bus conductor.

“As a child, Priyanka adored the bag that the medal winners were presented with. It was this fascination that made her participate in the Race-Walking competition for the first time. Now, she is a big champion of that,” Modi said.

Highlighting the consistent efforts of Javelin thrower Shivpal Singh who hails from Varanasi, the Prime Minister stated that Shivpal’s entire family has been associated with this game. His father, uncle and brother are all proficient in javelin throw.

“His commitment and an emotional attachment for the sport as it is a part of his family tradition made him qualify for the mega-event,” the PM added.

Urging people to encourage the athletes, the Prime Minister also said that all the athletes have endured ‘years of toil’ and the country should back them without putting them under pressure during the Tokyo Games next month.

Extending immense gratitude to the Prime Minister, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the state drew inspiration from the PM’s encouragement and support to the sports fraternity and adopted a similar approach to promote and foster the sports culture by supporting the talented sportspersons in Uttar Pradesh.

“The talented players of our state were deprived of adequate resources since long, however, our government is leaving no stone unturned to provide all necessary assets to the sportspersons in order to promote sports activities for them to shine nationally and internationally,” asserted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

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.
