congress-symbol1Dehradun: Toughening its stand on rebel leaders, the Congress on Monday expelled from the party two senior leaders for six years for indulging in anti-party activities.

Saket Bahuguna, son of former Uttarakhand chief minister Vijay Bahuguna, and state Congress joint secretary Anil Gupta were expelled from the party.

Saket Bahuguna had contested the last Lok Sabha elections from Uttarakhnd on the congress ticket.

Sources told IANS that the Congress high command has asked Chief Minister Harish Rawat to go ahead and tackle the rebellion with an iron hand.

The action indicated that the Congress leadership was not in a mood to initiate dialogue with the rebels and that it was even willing to sacrifice the government if need be.

The state goes to polls to elect its new assembly early next year.

The nine legislators who rebelled against the Harish Rawat government in the state assembly last week have already been served show cause notices by the assembly speaker.

Leader of the rebel group, Harak Singh Rawat has already been sacked as the state’s agriculture minister.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, accused by the Congress of conspiring to topple its government, has publicly washed its hands of the rebellion but demanded that the Rawat government be dismissed and central rule be imposed in the hill state.

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.
