Ghaziabad: The city of Ghaziabad is witnessing an unprecedented power crisis. Out of 24 hours, the city is receiving only 12-13 hours of power supply while the rural areas are enduring worse, an official said on Thursday.

Superintendent Engineer SB Yadav said: “Power supply from the central pool is not being supplied to us. The city’s demand for power has shot up to 1,600 megawatt suddenly due to rise in temperature while it was constant at 1,400 megawatt last month.”

“On Wednesday, the power grid collapsed due to fall in power frequency, so we had to curtail the supply in the city. The residents had to face the heat consequently,” Yadav said.

The worst affected areas were the localities of Nehru Nagar, Patel Nagar, Raj Nagar, Kavi Nagar, Govid Puram in the city, and the localities of Vadsundhara, Vaishali, Indirapuram and Rajendra Nagar in trans-Hindon areas of the city.

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.
