Trinamool Congress

Kolkata: West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress on Monday suspended two of its legislators – Seuli Saha and Silbhadra Dutta – for anti-party activities.

“They have been suspended from the party for indulging in anti-party activities. They have not been listening to the party and provoking others to quit our party,” Trinamool secretary general Partha Chatterjee told IANS.

The suspension comes a day after Saha, who represents Haldia constituency, and Dutta, from Barrackpore constituency, attended an iftar party hosted by sidelined Trinamool leader Mukul Roy.

Perceived to be close to Roy, Dutta was earlier removed from the post of parliamentary secretary.

Both Dutta and Saha said they will comment on the issue only after getting a formal intimation about their suspension.

Speculations have been rife of Roy, a Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP floating a new political party after Eid.

During Sunday’s iftar party where both Saha and Dutta were present, Roy’s aide and expelled Trinamool leader Dipak Ghosh had claimed the formalities of floating the new party will begin after Eid.

“The draft is ready, we will file the documents for floating the new party with the Election Commission after Eid. Once the formalities are completed we will make the announcement,” Ghosh had said Sunday.

Roy remained non-committal, terming Ghosh’s comments as personal.

Critical of the Banerjee government for “not fulfilling aspirations of minorities”, Roy in the last couple of months, held talks with several leaders from the Muslim community.

Besides holding talks with Pirzada Toha Siddiqui of Furfura Sharif, an influential spiritual leader, Roy met All Bengal Minority Youth Federation general secretary Mohammad Quamruzzaman, and former Left Front minister and expelled CPI-M leader Abdur Rezzak Mollah.

Once the second in command of Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool and credited as the architect of the party electoral success, Roy was stripped of all party posts. His relation with the party fell out following his quizzing by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the multi-crore rupee Saradha scam.

Going against the party stand that the CBI was targeting Trinamool leaders, Roy insisted he would cooperate with the probe agency even if it called it a hundred times.

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.
