Bizzare! Pakistan security personnel deployed for New Zealand consumed biryani worth Rs 2.8 million: Reports
Pakistan’s information minister Fawad Chaudhry recently claimed that PTV suffered massively in the aftermath of New Zealand’s abandonment of Pakistan tour, minutes before the tour-opener.
Now, reports have started circulating that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) allegedly spent nearly Rs 3 million in food bills for the officers, who were in charge of security during the series, in just eight days.
Anandabazar Patrika reported that PCB have received a biryani bill of Rs 2.8 million for security officials hired for New Zealand team before the tour got abandoned. The reports further added that each security personnel was served biriyani twice a day.
The report further added that there were more than 500 policemen, including five SPs and SSPs, guarding the cricketers.
New Zealand abandoned the series citing a government “security alert” on the day when the first match of the three-match ODIs in Rawalpindi was due to start. The tour was then supposed to moved to Lahore for a five-match T20 series.
New Zealand’s cricket squad arrived home on Wednesday (September 22). The cricket board had said that they were aware of a “specific and credible” threat but did not give details.
International cricket in Pakistan was suspended in the aftermath of terror attacks against the Sri Lankan side in 2009, but has slowly revived over the past two years.
New Zealand’s withdrawal dealt a massive blow to Pakistan’s hopes of staging regular international cricket, with England subsequently calling off their men’s and women’s tours.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
