Amitabh seeks appointment with CM in Departmental Enquiry
IPS officer Amitabh Thakur today formally sought time with the UP Chief Minister in his departmental enquiry.
In his letter to Principal Secretary Home, he said on 16 July 2015 he had already presented his reply to the 16-point charge-sheet within 24 hours, saying that none of the charges hold any ground, hence the suspension be immediately revoked as being completely improper and the charge-sheet be quashed.
Sri Thakur said that if the UP Chief Minister as the decision-maker does not find his explanations adequate enough, he must give him a personal hearing in the matter before taking any final decision, so that Sri Thakur may also bring his facts before the CM. He said the departmental proceeding being a quasi-judicial proceeding, he has a legal right to present facts before the Chief Minister as the decision-making authority in the State.

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.
