Hyderabad: Telangana and Andhra Pradesh continued to be in the grip of cold wave conditions.

Mercury plummeted to one degree Celsius Monday in Lambasingi, a tribal area in Visakhapatnam district while the lowest temperature of four degree was recorded in Adilabad in Telangana state.

Lambasingi in Chintapalli mandal, about 110 km from coastal city of Visakhapatnam, Sunday chilled at zero degree Celsius. The temperature at other agency areas in Visakhapatnam district ranged between two and four degree Celsius.

The temperature at Lambasingi, located more than 3,000 feet above sea level, and other surrounding tribal areas had been dropping for last few years. The region, especially Araku Valley, attracts tourists during the season.

The temperature in most parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana continue to be below 10 degree Celsius.

Adilabad remained the coldest place in Telangana with four degree Celsius, an all-time record. A person died of cold wave in the district.

With Adilabad situated on a higher level in the Deccan plateau, it is recording relatively lower temperature, said Met officials.

Medak, Nizamabad, Ramagundam and Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana continue to record below 10 degree temperatures.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has attributed the cold wave conditions to cold dry northerly winds blowing into the two states. It has forecast that temperature might further dip in the coming days.

The cold wave conditions have affected the normal life in parts of the two states. Streets in parts of Hyderabad and other towns are going deserted around 8 p.m. and people are remaining indoors till late in the morning.

The sale of warm clothes has gone up. People are also setting small fires to keep themselves warm.

The health authorities have also come out with a list of precautionary measures for people to protect themselves from the cold.

Beggars, orphans, destitute and the daily-wage labourers are the worst affected by the harsh weather.

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.
