Residents of a town in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district held a traditional funeral of a monkey that died due to electrocution.
A funeral procession was taken out before the animal's last rites in Teother town on Monday.
A video surfaced on social media, in which some people along with a music band were seen taking out a procession. A man was seen holding the carcass with garlands and wrapped in a cloth with the name of Lord Ram inscribed on it.
Mahendra Kesharwani, a local trader, said when he reached his shop on Monday, he found the monkey dead near an electric pole.
“When contacted, local civic officials said it is the work of the forest department to cremate the animals. On the other hand, the forest department said it is the civic body's responsibility," he told reporters.
After forest officials were repeatedly contacted, they suggested that the citizens could perform the last rites of the ape, he said.
“We traders then decided to perform the monkey's last rites in a traditional way,” he said.
Later, some village residents buried the carcass with full respect as per the traditions, he added.

The TV debate noise aside, the Narcotic Control Bureau has failed to find proof against Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan in the drugs-on-cruise case. 
The anti-drugs agency has filed a 6,000-page chargesheet, naming 14 accused, after drugs were found on a cruise ship off Mumbai last year. But Aryan, who spent three weeks in jail and five others, don't feature in the chargesheet as NCB in a statement said no proof was found against them. 
The agency which has faced flak for its handling of the case said that the principle of proof beyond reasonable doubt has been applied. The NCB had claimed that Aryan Khan was a regular user and supplier of drugs, charges strongly denied by him and his lawyers who contended that no drugs were found on him during the raid.
Sameer Wankhede, the officer in charge of the investigation, was changed amid allegations of deliberately targeting Aryan Khan and even trying to blackmail the accused.

Author Geetanjali Shree's Hindi novel ‘Tomb of Sand’ has become the first book in any Indian language to win the prestigious International Booker Prize.

Geetanjali Shree wins International Booker Prize for first Hindi novel 'Tomb of Sand'

Geetanjali Shree: The New Delhi-based writer said she was &ldquo;completely overwhelmed&rdquo; with the "bolt from the blue" as she accepted her prize

Author Geetanjali Shree's Hindi novel &lsquo;Tomb of Sand&rsquo; has become the first book in any Indian language to win the prestigious International Booker Prize.
At a ceremony in London on Thursday, the New Delhi-based writer said she was &ldquo;completely overwhelmed&rdquo; with the "bolt from the blue" as she accepted her prize, worth GBP 50,000 and shared with the book's English translator, Daisy Rockwell.
&lsquo;Tomb of Sand&rsquo;, originally &lsquo;Ret Samadhi&rsquo;, is set in northern India and follows an 80-year-old woman in a tale the Booker judges dubbed a &ldquo;joyous cacophony&rdquo; and an "irresistible novel".
&ldquo;I never dreamt of the Booker, I never thought I could. What a huge recognition, I&rsquo;m amazed, delighted, honoured and humbled,&rdquo; said Shree, in her acceptance speech.
&ldquo;There is a melancholy satisfaction in the award going to it. &lsquo;Ret Samadhi/Tomb of Sand&rsquo; is an elegy for the world we inhabit, a lasting energy that retains hope in the face of impending doom. The Booker will surely take it to many more people than it would have reached otherwise, that should do the book no harm,&rdquo; she said.
Reflecting upon becoming the first work of fiction in Hindi to make the Booker cut, the 64-year-old author said it feels good to be the means of that happening.
&ldquo;But behind me and this book lies a rich and flourishing literary tradition in Hindi, and in other South Asian languages. World literature will be the richer for knowing some of the finest writers in these languages. The vocabulary of life will increase from such an interaction,&rdquo; she said.
Rockwell, a painter, writer and translator living in Vermont, US, joined her on stage to receive her award for translating the novel she described as a &ldquo;love letter to the Hindi language".
&ldquo;Ultimately, we were captivated by the power, the poignancy and the playfulness of &lsquo;Tomb of Sand&rsquo;, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/geetanjali-shree-wins-international-booker-prize-for-first-hindi-novel-tomb-of-sand-1653623944372" target="_blank">Geetanjali </a><a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/geetanjali-shree-wins-international-booker-prize-for-first-hindi-novel-tomb-of-sand-1653623944372" target="_blank">Shree</a>&rsquo;s polyphonic novel of identity and belonging, in Daisy Rockwell's exuberant, coruscating translation,&rdquo; said Frank Wynne, chair of the judging panel.
&ldquo;This is a luminous novel of India and partition, but one whose spellbinding brio and fierce compassion weaves youth and age, male and female, family and nation into a kaleidoscopic whole,&rdquo; he said.
The book&rsquo;s 80-year-old protagonist, Ma, to her family&rsquo;s consternation, insists on travelling to Pakistan, simultaneously confronting the unresolved trauma of her teenage experiences of Partition, and re-evaluating what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman, a feminist.
The Booker jury were impressed that rather than respond to tragedy with seriousness, Shree's playful tone and exuberant wordplay results in a book that is &ldquo;engaging, funny, and utterly original&rdquo;, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries, whether between religions, countries, or genders.
The author of three novels and several story collections, Mainpuri-born Shree has translated her works into English, French, German, Serbian, and Korean.
Originally published in Hindi in 2018, &lsquo;Tomb of Sand&rsquo; is the first of her books to be published in the UK in English by Tilted Axis Press in August 2021.

Shree's novel was chosen from a shortlist of six books, the others being: &lsquo;Cursed Bunny&rsquo; by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur from Korean; &lsquo;A New Name: Septology VI-VII&rsquo; by Jon Fosse, translated by Damion Searls from Norwegian; &lsquo;Heaven&rsquo; by Mieko Kawakami, translated by Samuel Bett and David Boyd from Japanese; &lsquo;Elena Knows&rsquo; by Claudia Pi&ntilde;eiro, translated by Frances Riddle from Spanish; and &lsquo;The Books of Jacob&rsquo; by Olga Tokarczuk, translated by Jennifer Croft from Polish.
This year the judges considered 135 books and for the first time in 2022, all shortlisted authors and translators will each receive GBP 2,500, increased from GBP 1,000 in previous years &ndash; bringing the total value of the prize to GBP 80,000.
Complementing the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/scottish-author-wins-booker-prize-for-debut-novel-1605840657488" target="_blank">Booker Prize</a> for Fiction, the international prize is awarded every year for a single book that is translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland.

Claiming the mausoleum of Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer was once a temple, a Hindu outfit has demanded a survey of the premises by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
Rajvardhan Singh Parmar of Maharana Pratap Sena claimed Hindu symbols were present on the walls and windows of the dargah.
However, the body of Khadims (servitors) has rejected the claim, saying there was no such symbol.
“The dargah of Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz was an ancient Hindu temple earlier. The symbols of Swastika are there on the walls and windows. We demand that ASI conduct a survey of the dargah,” Parmar told reporters.
Moin Chisti, president of Anjuman Saiyad Zadgan, the body of Khadims, said the claim is baseless as there is no such symbol at the mausoleum. He said millions of people, both Hindus and Muslims, visit the place every year.
“I am saying this with full responsibility that the symbol of Swastika is nowhere in the dargah. The dargah has been there for 850 years. No such question ever arose. There is a certain kind of atmosphere in the country today which was never there,” he said.
He said raising questions about the mausoleum of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti means hurting the sentiments of crores of people who offer prayers there irrespective of their religion.
Chisti said it is for the government to respond to such elements.
Mausoleum secretary Wahid Hussain Chisti dubbed the claim an attempt to disturb communal harmony.

St. Stephen's College wrote to Delhi University urging it to "reconsider its decision" of treating admissions done through the 85:15 weightage formula as "null and void", a senior varsity official said. In the letter to the Delhi University administration, the college mentioned that in 1992, the Supreme Court had given permission to St. Stephen's for admitting students through interview process, he said.
The varsity official, however, said the Delhi University (DU) is firm on its decision.
The development comes days after the university warned the St. Stephen's College that it will declare "null and void" all admissions made by it in violation of the Central Universities Entrance Test (CUET) guidelines after the college released a prospectus announcing that it will admit students for undergraduate courses while sticking to its stated 85:15 weightage formula.
The prospectus for the undergraduate courses 2022-23 stated, "St Stephen's College will adopt the CUET as the eligibility criteria with 85 per cent weightage for CUET and the college's interview for shortlisted candidates with a weightage of 15 per cent." The university asked the college to withdraw the prospectus containing an "incongruent policy immediately".
In a letter to St Stephen's principal John Varghese, varsity's registrar Vikas Gupta had said any admission done in violation of the admission norms will not be recognised and treated as annulled for all purposes.
The University Grants Commission has decided to hold a Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for admission to all central universities for academic session 2022-23.
The St. Stephen's College, asserting its minority institution character, has said it will accord 85 per cent weightage to the CUET score and 15 per cent to physical interview for all categories of candidates, a stand strongly opposed by DU, which wants interviews to be conducted only for the reserved category students.
On May 9, DU wrote to St Stephen's College, asking it to conduct admissions to the unreserved seats solely on the basis of CUET scores, senior officials said.
However, in an admission notice posted on its website last month, St Stephen’s College said it will give 85 per cent weightage to CUET scores and 15 per cent to interviews for all categories of students. The college also said that it reserves the right to proceed with admissions in accordance with its own admission policy guaranteed to it as a minority institution.

Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, whose capture by Pakistan worsened tensions between the two countries on Wednesday, has been a fighter pilot for 16 years and is the son of a decorated and senior officer of the air force.

With Aryan Khan not being named by the Narcotics Control Bureau in the drugs-on-cruise case, the spotlight has shifted to Sameer Wankhade, the controversial officer of the probe agency who first probed the case.   Sameer Wankhede, who was the NCB's former zonal director of Mumbai, had led the raid on the Cordelia cruise ship in October 2021 and arrested Aryan Khan along with 22 others. 
According to India Today, the union home ministry has called for appropriate action against former Narcotics Control Bureau official Sameer Wankhede for his "shoddy investigation" into the cruise drugs bust case.  
This comes after Aryan Khan was cleared by the NCB in the drugs-on-cruise case on Friday after the central agency filed a 6,000-page chargesheet. 
The unnamed sources told India Today that the Centre is already taking action in Sameer Wankhede's fake caste certificate case.   NCP leader Nawab Malik had levelled allegations of caste certificate forgery againstWankhede, claiming that he was born a Muslim but forged his caste certificate to get into the civil services using a seat reserved for the Scheduled Castes. However, Wankhede and his family have stated that the allegations were untrue.

A day after Rajasthan sports minister asked to be relieved from his post over the conduct of the CM's principal secretary, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said Ashok Chandna's tweet should not be taken seriously as he might be under pressure due to the workload.
Chandna on Thursday expressed anguish over the conduct of Gehlot's principal secretary, referring to him as the "minister of all the departments", and said he would prefer being removed as a minister.
Chandna made his displeasure public through a tweet, saying he does not want to hold on to the "dishonourable" ministerial post.
Gehlot said Chandna had organised a state level sports programme earlier and in the same way, a similar event -- 'Rural Olympics' is going to be held for the first time in Rajasthan in which 30 lakh people are likely to participate.
"A huge load is on him. Maybe he (Chandna) came under tension and made some comments. It should not be taken seriously... will talk to him," Gehlot told reporters.
The chief minister said he had not talked to the minister till now.
"He seem to be working under pressure, such a big responsibility has come on him, will see," Gehlot said.
In his tweet, Chandna had said, "I request the honourable chief minister to relieve me of this dishonourable ministerial post and give the charge of all my departments to Shri Kuldeep Ranka ji. He is anyway the minister of all the departments," he tweeted in Hindi, without elaborating.  Ranka is the principal secretary to the chief minister.
The development comes just days ahead of Rajya Sabha elections in Rajasthan and indicates resentment within the party. Just a week ago, Congress MLA from Dungarpur Ganesh Ghogra sent his resignation to Gehlot in protest against a police case against him.
