Srinagar: The opposition National Conference (NC) legislators, including former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, on Wednesday staged a sit-in outside the state legislature here to protest the suspension of its four lawmakers.

“We are protesting against the suspension of four of our legislators from the session. Until the suspension of our legislators is revoked, we will continue to sit on protest,” Abdullah said.

“All we demanded yesterday (Tuesday) was information on what was the defence of the state government planned in a petition in the court against article 35A.”

Article 35A pertains to the special status of Jammu and Kashmir state in the Union of Indian states.

“The state government does not want any opposition in the house…,” Abdullah, who is the president of the opposition NC, told reporters during the sit-in by his party’s legislators.

NC legislators wore black stripes around their arms to highlight their protest.

After he could not restore order in the legislative assembly despite repeated intervention by the security staff to prevent opposition lawmakers from storming into the well of the house, Speaker Kavinder Gupta on Tuesday suspended two NC lawmakers, Altaf Ahmad Kaloo and Abdul Majeed Larmi, for the rest of the session.

Following ruckus by NC legislators in the state legislative council, the chairman also suspended two NC legislators, Ali Muhammad Dar and Showkat Ahmad, for the remaining period of the session.

Omar Abdullah later said on his twitter handle that the NC would not attend the remaining period of the legislature session to protest the suspension of its members.

The autumn session of state’s bicameral legislature started here on October 3 and will end on October 10.

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.
