rHyderabad:Rejecting the bail petition of the son of an Andhra Pradesh minister in a molestation case, a city court sent him to police custody for two days.

The bail petition of Ravela Susheel, son of Social and Tribal Welfare Minister Ravela Kishore Babu, and a petition by police seeking his custody for two days were taken up for hearing in Nampally Criminal Court, and the court allowed police to take custody of Susheel on March 9 and 10 for further questioning.

Susheel and his driver M. Ramesh were sent to judicial custody for 14 days by a magistrate on Sunday. They are currently lodged in Chanchalguda Central Jail.

Both Susheel and Ramesh, booked under Nirbhaya Act, surrendered in Banjara Hills police station late Saturday night.

They had allegedly molested a woman in Banjara Hills area here on March 3.

The woman, a teacher, said in her in complaint that she was walking on the road when a car stopped near her and the occupants asked her to come inside and even tried to drag her in by holding her hand.

When the woman raised an alarm, locals beat up the duo and handed them over to police. Police booked only the driver for misbehaving but no arrests were made.

Police swung into action the next day following media reports about police attempts to hush up the case.

Denying the charges, Susheel claimed that he spotted a puppy on the road and got down from car to pick it up but the woman with no reasons started shouting and abusing.

Meanwhile, Susheel’s father said in the state assembly on Tuesday that if his son is found guilty, he will get the punishment.

The minister said this when leader of opposition Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy spoke about the incident during the debate on the occasion of the international women’s day.

The minister said when he learnt about the case, he himself made his son surrender to police. He also said he will not forgive his son, if he is proved guilty.

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.
