History made! Lucknow crosses 60% mark on voting day
Voters in the state capital came out with their ‘best-ever’ show recording a turnout of 60.05% on Wednesday. Even as the polling percentage was set to rise further as the district administration was still compiling the data at the time of the filing of this report, DM Abhishek Prakash claimed that it was the biggest since 1951 as the voter turnout has never breached 60%-mark in the city.
The previous best turnout in the district was in 2017 when it recorded 58.45% polling. The average turnout in the district since 2002 has been 43.24%, 37% (2007), 56.81% (2012) and 58.45% (2017).

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.
