Make yourself, Meena co-accused: AAP tells Jung

New Delhi: The AAP on Wednesday urged Lt Governor Najeeb Jung to direct ACB chief M.K. Meena to make them both (Jung and Meena) co-accused in the FIRs against “wrongdoers” of the previous Delhi government.

In a letter to Jung, AAP legislator Rajendra Pal Gautam said the Arvind Kejriwal government had during its first 49 days in power in 2013-14 filed four FIRs against the “wrongdoers” of Sheila Dikshit government.

“After Kejriwal resigned you took over… sat on all these four cases… absolutely no action was taken in these cases,” Gautam said.

“You had been protecting Dikshit… ACB (Anti-Corruption Branch) chief Meena has also colluded with you in this criminal activity,” he said.

“Kindly forward my letter to ACB with direction that Meena and yourself should be made co-accused in these four FIRs.”

Twelve Aam Aadmi Party MLAs went to Jung’s office to meet him over the issue. Jung’s secretary took their memorandum and suggested that they meet the ACB chief over the issue, an official at Jung’s office told IANS.

The Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) on Monday registered a case against Chief Minister Kejriwal and former Delhi Chief Minister Dikshit.

ACB chief Meena clarified that the FIR against Kejriwal was registered on the complaint of BJP MLA Vijender Gupta “for causing delay in the probe of water tanker scam and not cancelling the contract for water tankers”.

Agitated over not being allowed to meet Jung, AAP MLA Somnath Bharti told the media: “LG did not meet us. He was duty bound to meet us. We were frisked as if we were terrorists.”

Jung’s office, however, said the Lt Governor had a prior appointment and the MLAs came without notice.

“They simply texted before arriving. LG’s schedule is fixed a day before, he has many other important work to do,” an official told IANS.

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.
