Extending Independence Day greetings to the people of the state, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to observe August 14 as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.

“The PM’s decision to observe Partition Horrors Remembrance Day will help cement national unity and integrity apart from strengthening social harmony and inspiring countrymen to eliminate discrimination and ill-will,” a government spokesman said, quoting the chief minister.

The chief minister said this was a special Independence Day since it would mark the country’s entry into the 75th year of freedom.

The Independence Day, he said, was a national festival that reminded us of the priceless sacrifice made by our freedom fighters to secure independence from the British rule.

Paying tributes to the freedom fighters, he said the country would always remember their valorous sacrifice. He appealed to people to celebrate the national festival with fervour and gaiety following the Covid protocol.

Deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya tweeted, “The Partition of India in 1947 is the most painful incident. Owing to Partition, lakhs of people faced violence, lost their lives, and had to face the horrors of Partition.” Deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma thanked the prime minister for the “historic” decision.

Hours after Modi’s announcement, the Union home ministry notified August 14 as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.

The ministry of information and broadcasting said the day will be a fitting tribute to all those who lost their lives due to the partition of the nation and were displaced from their roots

Meanwhile, chief minister Yogi Adityanath also had an informal meeting with governor Anandiben Patel at the Raj Bhavan in Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh government said in a statement.

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.
