Jet AirwaysKathmandu : Indian airline major Jet Airways has announced resumption of normal operations to Nepal, with five daily flights, beginning from October this year.

The airlines said it will fly thrice a day on the Kathmandu-Delhi sector and twice a day on the Kathmandu-Mumbai sector.

The carrier had reduced its flight frequency to Nepal to three daily flights in August last year.

“Nepal is a key strategic market for Jet Airways. The number of students and pilgrims has been increasing from Nepal,” said Colin Neubronner, Senior Vice-President (sales and marketing) of Jet Airways. “We are doing well on the Kathmandu-Delhi sector, so we have decided to increase our flight frequency.”

The carrier is also planning to launch short holiday packages targeting officials of diplomatic missions in Nepal and Nepali expatriates who use Jet’s connecting flights to different parts of the world.

The carrier also said it will launch flexible and transparent fare structure on August 17.

The scheme, which is being introduced for the first time in India, will provide guests with more choices and freedom when booking flights and allow them to customise their journey according to their needs.

“As of now, we have one airfare system. And we are breaking airfares in various categories,” said Neubronner, adding that price ranges will be wider to cater to different classes of passengers.

Jet started its operations in Nepal in 2004. In terms of passenger carriage, Jet Airways slipped to the second spot in 2015 — down 18.86 per cent from the previous year.

The carrier flew 311,666 passengers last year. However, it stood at the top spot in terms of bringing tourists to Nepal.

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.
