The two were elected during the first meeting of newly elected Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). With a huge majority of 99 in 150-member body, TRS bagged both the post of mayor and deputy mayor.

As no other nominations were received for the posts, presiding officer Rahul Bojja announced their unanimous election. Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), which emerged as the second largest party with 44 seats, extended its support to the unanimous election of the mayor and deputy mayor.

Rammohan is the president of the youth wing of TRS. Known as a strong loyalist of TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, he had actively participated in the Telangana movement. As many as 142 cases were booked against him during the movement and was in jail for four months.

The 42-year-old is the first mayor of Greater Hyderabad in the new state of Telangana. In GHMC elections held on February 2, he was elected as corporator from Cherlapally division.

Interestingly, Rammohan had spent four months in Cherlapally jail. Originally hailing from Warangal district of Telangana, he did LLB from Osmania University in Hyderabad and is currently doing PhD.

He was associated with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) before joining TRS in 2002.

Faishuddin, president of TRS’ student wing in Hyderabad, has been elected to GHMC from Borabanda division. The 34-year-old had actively participated in the Telangana movement and was arrested on many occasions.

KCR wanted to have a Muslim as the deputy mayor and he chose Fasihuddin from five Muslim corporators elected on TRS ticket.

TRS scored a landslide victory in GHMC elections. It had no presence in the previous body, whose term ended in 2014.

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.
