Saikhom Mirabai Chanu has become the first Indian to score a medal at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and as of the morning of July 29, remains the only athlete to do so. And while her achievement at the quadrennial tournament was celebrated in a grand fashion as she came back to India, the pictures from her time at the actual house have gone viral ever since.

She was clicked at her humble abode in Manipur, enjoying a plate of rice and some vegetables, as she sat on a cemented floor, in a tiny room with unpainted walls, wooden shelves that are barely staying upright, and no chairs in sight.

“Poverty is never an excuse for achieving one’s dreams. India’s most loved Saikhom Mirabai Chanu at her humble home in Manipur after winning Silver Medal in the Tokyo Olympics,” wrote Rajat Sethi, an advisor to the Manipur Chief Minister.

The weightlifter is known for commanding exceptional strength ever since she was a child. At the age of 12, she would carry a massive bundle of firewood back home while her older brother would struggle to even pick it up.

She has seen a lot of failures in her life. Her Rio Olympics 2016 journey was an absolute disaster after she was unable to complete her lift three times in a row and was therefore knocked out of the tournament by default.

However, her breakthrough had come two years before Rio and at the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow, when she won the silver medal in the 48kg weight category. It would be four years since that moment that she would finally be able to turn that Commonwealth silver into gold, this time at Gold Coast, 2018 when she lifted an impressive 196 kg, 86 kg in Snatch and 110 kg in Clean and Jerk.

Never to eat a single slice of pizza her entire life, Mirabai finally achieved that dream as well when she came back after winning the Olympics silver and met with the former Sports Minister and the current Law minister of the country, Kiren Rijiju

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.
