West Indies captain Kieron Pollard decided to retire himself and walk back to the dressing room after playing a rather strange 8-run knock-off 16 deliveries against Bangladesh in a crucial T20 World Cup Super 12 encounter on Friday. Bangladesh opted to field after winning the toss and the bowlers responded with quick wickets, including Chris Gayle out for four in Sharjah.

Pollard, who came in at No. 5, walked to the dressing room in the 13th over with West Indies’s score reading 3 for 62. While the WI team management has not revealed any official reason for it, fans have called it a ‘tactical move’ by the captain to give his side momentum with the bat in the second half of the innings.

Andre Russell, who walked into replacing the skipper, was unfortunately run-out at the non-striker’s end the very next ball after having backed up too far outside the crease. However, Pollard returned to bat in the final over and slammed a six off the last ball to finish with 14 runs off 18 balls.

Nicholas Pooran smashed 40 off 22 balls to lift holders West Indies to 142-7 against Bangladesh with both teams looking for a first win in a make-or-break match. Mahedi, Shoriful Islam and Mustafizur Rahman took two wickets each.

Roston Chase scored 39 on his T20 debut and Pooran put on 57 runs for the fifth wicket to give the West Indies impetus in the final few overs. Bangladesh need 143 to win and keep their hopes alive of making the semi-finals from Group 1, led by unbeaten England and Australia.

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.
