After Arrests In Elephant Carcass Burning, Royal Bengal Tiger Skin Seizure Rings Alarm Bells For Odisha

 

14 Dec 2022

Baripada: While three suspended forest personnel were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the secret burning of an elephant carcass in Similipal Tiger Reserve, a Special Task Force (STF) team recovered a skin of a Royal Bengal Tiger (RBT), which is on the verge of extinction, at Sridamchandrapur village under Udala tehsil in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district and arrested a poacher.

The raid was conducted on a tip-off and the poacher was nabbed while some officials posing as buyers were striking a Rs 5 lakh deal for the tiger skin, which was later seized from his possession. Two others, however, managed to escape.

It is believed that the big cat was hunted a month back.
