Mumbai/Nagpur: There was no relief from the heat wave sweeping parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada regions of Maharashtra with high temperatures continuing on Saturday.

Chandrapur burnt at a high of 48 degrees Celsius — the highest temperature recorded in the state so far — and two points higher than Friday’s 46 degrees — though there were no officially recorded heat wave casualties in the state so far.

Nagpur followed with 47 degrees Celsius while Wardha stood at 46 degrees, and Akola remained constant like Friday at 45 degrees.

Yavatmal also remained constant at 44 degrees, while Jalgaon notched up a degree from 43 to 44 since Friday.

While Solapur and Parbhani recorded 43 degrees Celsius, Aurangabad and Amravati recorded 42 degrees; Nanded, Osmanabad and Buldhana were slightly comfortable at 41 degrees Celsius each.

The weather continued to be dry in most districts in the hinterland, with humidity levels as low as 32 percent (Nagpur), (34) Akola, (35) Amravati, (37) Chandrapur and (38) Yavatmal.

For the first time this week, the salubrious hill station of Mahabaleshwar recorded 28 degrees Celsius, down from the high of 30 degrees on Friday, after it recorded a continuous high of 29 degrees earlier this week. This was the lowest temperature recorded in the state on Saturday.

The temperature in coastal areas like Mumbai remained constant at 35 degrees on Saturday while other seaside districts like Raigad and Ratnagiri stood at 34 degrees, but with high humidity levels.

A surprise cloud cover during the day over Mumbai and parts of coastal Konkan areas brought some relief from the heat, though the temperatures and humidity levels remained unchanged.

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.
