Ahead of the much-awaited Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) faced a big blow as three of their leaders joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday (January 12, 2022).

Congress MLA Naresh Saini, Samajwadi Party MLA Hariom Yadav and former SP MLA Dharmpal Yadav joined BJP at its party headquarters in New Delhi.

The three leaders were welcomed in the presence of Uttar Pradesh BJP President Swatantra Dev Singh and deputy chief ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma.

This, notably, comes a day after OBC leader Swami Prasad Maurya resigned from the Yogi cabinet and three other MLAs announced that they are quitting the party.

While Maurya has said that he will join the Samajwadi Party on January 14, Tindwari MLA Brajesh Prajapati, Tilhar’s Roshan Lal Varma and Bilhaur’s Bhagwati Sagar announced that they are leaving the BJP in Maurya’s support.

Elections for the 403-member Uttar Pradesh assembly will be held in seven phases. The polling will be held on February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27, and March 3 and 7.

The counting of votes will take place on March 10.

Earlier in the 2017 Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party had bagged 312 seats while the SP had won 47, Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) 19 and Congress could manage to win only seven seats. The rest of the seats were bagged by other candidates.

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.
