Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh continued to shiver Friday as temperatures dropped further, the winter chill being compounded by icy winds blowing across the state. While fog on the outskirts of the capital city wreaked havoc on the transport system.

Thursday was the coldest day in recent times with the minimum temperature dropping to 3.8 degrees celsius and the maximum to 23.5 degrees celsius, three degrees below the normal.

The weatherman said that the chill was only going to get worse in the coming days as the icy winds blowing from the Himalaya foothills would gather more momentum.

Muzaffarnagar was the coldest Thursday with the mercury dropping to 1.4 degrees celsius. Lucknow was the second coldest place in UP while Shahjahanpur (4.5) and Agra (5.1) were also considerably cold.

Regional Met director J.P. Gupta said that the winter chill was aggravated due to a western disturbance and thunder showers and rains are expected in most parts of the state over the next few days.

While there was no fog for the second consecutive day in Lucknow and its neighbouring areas, fog and resultant poor visibility on the outskirts continued to disrupt air, rail and road traffic. As a result, two flights were cancelled Thursday and more than five dozen trains were running behind their schedules.

Major trains running late included Farakka Express, New Jalpaiguri, Sampar Kranti Express, Varanasi-Delhi Special, Anand Vihar Special, Kumbh Express, Gorakhpur-Dehradun Express, Saryu-Yamuna Express, Upasana Express, Chapra Express, Amritsar-Howrah and Rapti Sagar Express.

An Indigo flight from Mumbai to Lucknow and a Jet Connect flight got cancelled as well.

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.
