R Ashwin dismissed Tom Latham (52) during the final day’s play between India and New Zealand in the series opener at Green Park, Kanpur. With his wicket, Ashwin achieved a huge milestone as the wily off-spinner surpassed Harbhajan Singh to become India’s third highest wicket-taker in the red-ball format.

Ashwin was five wickets away from moving past Harbhajan’s wicket-tally when India commenced the first Test versus the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand at Kanpur. The 35-year-old returned with a three-wicket haul in NZ’s first essay and removed openers Will Young and Latham, in the final innings, to topple Bhajji.

After the match, Ashwin reacted to the news of moving past Harbhajan and told the broadcasters, “These are milestones that are constantly kept on tab, it’s wonderful. Ever since Rahul bhai has taken over, he’s kept saying that how many ever wickets you take, how many ever runs you make in 10 years time, you won’t remember them. It’s the memories that matters so I want to have some special memories going forward in the next 3-4 years.”

The top-five wicket-takers for India in Tests are as follows:

Anil Kumble – 619

Kapil Dev – 434

R Ashwin – 419*

Harbhajan Singh – 417

Zaheer Khan/Ishant Sharma – 311

On the other hand, the veteran off-spinner Harbhajan also reacted to Ashwin’s feat and told PTI, “I would like to congratulate Ashwin on his milestone. Well done and hope he wins many more matches for India. I never believed in comparisons. We played our best cricket in different times, against different opposition. I had done my best for the country back then and ditto for Ashwin, he did his best now.”

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.
