Sukhbir Singh BadalAmritsar : Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has “very close links” with radical organisations and also termed the recent incident of party MP Bhagwant Mann uploading Parliament’s security set up on social media as a “very serious lapse”.

“I think it is a very serious (security) lapse, what Bhagwant Mann has done. I openly say that AAP has very close links with radical organisations,” Sukhbir Singh Badal, who is also Punjab’s Home Minister, told media after offering prayers at the Golden Temple, here on Sunday along with his wife and Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal.

Mann on Thursday shot a video clip of his journey from home to Parliament House, including movement past various security check points, and posted it on social media, drawing flak from various quarters for putting Parliament complex security in danger.

Cornered by leaders of almost all parties in both the Houses, Mann apologised to Lok Sabha Speaker, Sumitra Mahajan and also removed the video from Facebook.

“Radical organisation, people who participated in the ‘Sarbat Khalsa’ (grand assembly of Sikhs), they are all linked to AAP,” Sukhbir said.

Last November, radical Sikh organisations and others held the congregation of radicals near Amritsar.

Badal also said the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) was not threatened by the emergence of AAP on Punjab’s political scene.

“The more the opponents, better for the Akali Dal. The public will control them. People will reject them. No one is now bothered about them,” he said.

Badal, the president of the Akali Dal in alliance with the BJP, refused to comment on cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu and his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu.

“I don’t want to comment on them (Sidhu couple),” Badal said.

Navjot Singh Sidhu had recently quit Rajya Sabha, where he was nominated by the BJP-led government earlier this year.

His wife is the sitting BJP legislator from the Amritsar-east assembly seat and is also a Chief Parliamentary Secretary (just below a minister) in the state government.

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.
