Lucknow: Cold wave tightened its grip as rain continued to lash Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow on Monday morning and the minimum temperature in the region was set to dip further, the regional meteorological office said.

Residents of Lucknow woke up to a steady spell of rain, leaving many schoolchildren and office-goers in the lurch. Icy winds blowing at a speed of 15 km per hour from neighbouring Uttarakhand only added to the winter bite.

Many parts of the state would witness cloudy weather or rain, especially eastern Uttar Pradesh, the Met office predicted. The state capital has been lashed by rain in the last 24 hours.

A drop in day and night temperatures would continue in the coming week, the Met office said.

The weatherman said that day temperature had already dropped by a few notches and the minimum temperature here on Sunday was recorded at 19 degrees Celsius, eight degrees below normal.

“Icy winds blowing in due to snowfall in Himachal Pradesh and neighbouring Uttarakhand will add to the chill. Uttar Pradesh will face the winter at its fullest within a week,” the Met office said.

Fog also appeared in some parts of Uttar Pradesh and was set to thicken by the month-end, the meteorological office said.

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.
