New Delhi: A downpour in Delhi on Friday led to waterlogging at many places, throwing traffic movement out of gear and leading to snarls. Delhi’s suburbs of Noida and Ghaziabad too recorded light rain.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the city received 11.4 mm rain between 8.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. on Friday. As a result, traffic came to a crawl in many areas.

The situation was worse at major intersections and arterial roads during the evening rush hour, with some stretches witnessing serpentine queues of cars moving at a snail’s pace.

“I was stuck near Akshardham Temple (east Delhi) for over 40 minutes and barely moved a few feet,” an exasperated Anand Sharma, on his way to Noida from Delhi, said.

Delhi traffic police said jams were reported from Malviya Nagar, Dhaula Kuan, Adhchini, Safdarjung hospital in south Delhi, roads around ITO, Connaught Place and India Gate in central Delhi, Karol Bagh, Kirti Nagar and Naraina in west Delhi.

More rain is expected on Saturday, the IMD said.

“The sky will remain cloudy tomorrow (Saturday) and the city will get rain,” the official said.

The maximum and minimum temperatures would hover around 33 and 26 degrees Celsius.

Friday morning was pleasant and cloudy and the minimum temperature was recorded at 26.4 degrees Celsius, average for this time of the season while the maximum was a notch above average at 34.4 degrees.

The day’s maximum humidity was recorded at 95 percent.

Thursday’s maximum temperature was at 34 degrees Celsius, a notch above the season’s average while the minimum was 26.4 degrees Celsius.

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.
