hardik patelAhmedabad:Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel on Monday said his four-month-old agitation for reservation for the Patels in government jobs and education will continue.

“Even foibaa (father’s sister) cannot prevent it,” he told reporters outside a Surat court.

His statement came a day after senior cabinet minister Nitin Patel promised to go slow on legal action against PAAS leaders and associates while announcing on Sunday financial aid for those injured in police action during Hardik Patel’s rally.

Hardik Patel has also been accused of using foul language against Chief Minister Anandiben Patel, violence against those from other backward communities as well as media persons, apart from asking one of his supporters to kill a cop or two instead of thinking of suicide.

Patel, 23, was handed over a copy of the 379-page charge sheet filed against him by the Surat Police on Friday in a sedition case.

After he was presented before Judicial Magistrate J.B. Rathod, his lawyer Yashwant Vala was given a copy of the charge sheet in the first sedition case on Friday.

The district court has ordered to commit the case to a Surat sessions court where further hearing will take place on January 20.

Nitin Patel said the government had directed chief principal secretary in the chief minister’s office, K. Kailashnathan, to study the 287 cases filed against PAAS leaders and find a way to withdraw these wherever feasible, except those related to sedition charges.

The state earlier announced withdrawal of 74 cases against 382 Patels.

Meanwhile, Reshma Patel and Pankaj Patel, who were on an indefinite fast for the past three weeks to seek release of Hardik Patel and other PAAS leaders, broke their fast on Sunday night after request from the state government and senior community leaders.

The Patel leaders, however, decided to continue token relay fasts at various district headquarters till Hardik Patel and other leaders were released.

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.
