Agra, 26 Feb 2014 (TOI): In a case that seems straight out of an Agatha Christie potboiler, a parrot turned detective and helped nab its mistress’ killer.

 

The question of who murdered Neelam Sharma, 45, and her pet dog, had been baffling the city police for almost a week till they got a clue provided by Hercule, the parrot.

 

Neelam, wife of Vijay Sharma, the editor of a Hindi daily, was found murdered at her residence on February 20. Her husband noticed a change in the behaviour of the parrot whenever his nephew Ashutosh visited their house after the murder.

 

"During discussions too, whenever Ashutosh’s name was mentioned, the parrot would start screeching. This raised my suspicion and I informed the police," said Sharma.

 

SSP Agra, Shalabh Mathur, told TOI that Ashutosh confessed to the crime on being interrogated.

 

"We checked his call details and took him in custody. He accepted his crime and informed us that he was accompanied by an accomplice. They had entered the house with the intention of taking away cash and other valuables."

 

Afraid that his aunt might recognize him, he stabbed her as well as the dog when he started barking. But he hadn’t accounted for the parrot who was watching silently.

What an amazing match! Have not seen Day 5 cricket test better than this. Ordinary batting by WI in second innings. India must give credit to Sehwag who gave them swashbuckling start set the tone for result. Otherwise Indians are not known to chase such aggressive targets of 4th innings. And I don\ t think people should be too hard on Ashwin. At the end of the day, he is a bowler, not a batsman. I think the Indian team is well and truly back with a bang and have lots of positives in the bowling department to brag about.... India has un-earthed two spinners who can win you matches on any pitch and two tear away fast bowlers... World\ s greatest batting line-up is back to its scoring ways and all eyes will be on the greatest batsman of all time to score the 100th 100.......
