jChandigarh:The Haryana government will introduce a bill in the state assembly in the forthcoming session to grant reservation to five communities, including the Jats, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Saturday.

He said that the state government would introduce a new bill in the assembly session beginning from March 14 for reservation to five communities, namely Jats, Jat Sikhs, Tyagis, Bishnois and Rors.

Khattar said that a five-member committee had already been constituted under the chairmanship of the chief secretary to prepare draft of the bill to grant reservation under the ambit of constitution. He said that an all-party committee was also being set up to give suggestions for drafting of the bill.

The BJP government in the state had promised reservation for the Jat community and others after the recent Jat agitation for reservation left the state paralysed for nine days. At least 30 people were killed, over 200 injured and property worth hundreds of crores was destroyed as the agitation turned violent.

The chief minister urged presidents of all registered political parties to send the name of their representative to the government for this committee.

“In case the all-party committee is able to draft the new bill unanimously, it would be passed in the Vidhan Sabha without any discussion,” Khattar said in a statement.

The Khattar government has said that people associated with the agitation and others could submit their suggestions regarding reservation so that their suggestions could be incorporated while drafting the bill.

Khattar made it clear that the existing 27 percent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in the state would not be disturbed.

The statement is significant as non-Jat communities from the OBCs were objecting to the Jat and other communities being included in the existing reservation for OBCs.

The chief minister also appealed to the people in the state to maintain peace and brotherhood and not be swayed by rumours.

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.
