Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday said he will write to the president, prime minister and the union home ministry about Governor P.B. Acharya, who he said was behaving like an “RSS and BJP activist” rather than the constitutional head of a state.

“The people of the state are aware of it… The governor is behaving more like a Sangh (RSS) activist than a constitutional head of a state. We are going to send video footage of the speeches of the governor to the president, prime minister and to the home ministry and urge them to decide on it,” Gogoi told newsmen on the sidelines of a function.

Gogoi and the governor have been at loggerheads many times after Acharya, who was then the Nagaland governor, assumed additional charge of Assam last year.

Gogoi was referring to a recent meeting of Acharya with a delegation of the Assam unit of the BJP including the party’s Lok Sabha members.

The governor urged the BJP legislators and parliamentarians to perform their duties properly before staging a movement against the ‘misdeeds’ of the Congress government in the state.

Assam’s regional political party Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) has also sent a memorandum to President Pranab Mukherjee, informing him about the “controversial” role played by the governor.

“The governor has turned Raj Bhavan into a BJP and RSS office and a training centre for the BJP and RSS, which is dangerous for democracy,” AGP president Atul Bora said in the memorandum, and sought the intervention of the president.

Earlier, Gogoi had expressed displeasure over Acharya’s choice of appointees to the Dibrugarh University Court.

Gogoi accused the governor of flouting the existing norms while nominating the 12 court members of the Dibrugarh University as four of them have no other background except being from the RSS.

The Assam unit of the Congress and other political parties and non-political organisations have staged protests against this move and termed it an attempt to “saffronise” the education sector in the state.

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.
