To love is our birth right. But this time, let’s make this country our love, said Punjab’s new chief minister Bhagwant Mann as he swore in at Khatkar Kalan — ancestral village of Bhagat Singh in Shaheed Bhagat Singh (SBS) Nagar district. Mann’s remark in Urdu is a famous quote by the legendary freedom fighter, in whose honour the chief minister asked people to turn Punjab ‘Basanti’ or yellow in colour.

“Ishq karna sabka paidaishi haq hai kyun na is baar watan ki sarzamin ko mehboob bana liya jaye,” Mann quoted Bhagat Singh as he told the attendees that there was a special reason behind choosing Khatkar Kalan as their oath-taking ceremony venue.

“For the first time we have come to the village of a martyr. Bhagat Singh should be remembered everyday,” he added. Mann said that AAP will be the representative of both those who voted for them and who didn’t.

Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit administered the oath of office and secrecy to Mann. Only he took oath during the ceremony. The event was supposed to start at 12.30 pm but got delayed and was held at around 1.25 pm.

Besides newly-elected AAP MLAs, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Delhi minister Satyendar Jain, and other leaders wearing yellow turbans were also present. After the ceremony, Mann said his government will address issues like unemployment, corruption and farmers’ plight which are plaguing the state.

“The work will start from today, he said. He said the condition of schools and hospitals in the state will be improved like it has been done by the AAP government in Delhi.

Meanwhile, a number of singers and artists, including Gurdas Mann, Karamjit Anmol, singer-turned-politician and Congress MP Mohammad Sadique, and Amar Noorie, were present at the event. Elaborate arrangements were made for the ceremony which was attended by AAP supporters from various parts of the state. The men were wearing yellow turbans while women draped a yellow ‘dupatta’.

The 48-year-old Mann had invited the people of the state to attend his swearing-in ceremony, saying the three crore people of Punjab will also take oath with him. Tight security arrangements were made for the event.

The AAP romped home winning 92 seats in the 117-member Punjab Assembly, decimating the Congress and the SAD-BSP combine.

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.
