Poachers' Tiger Attack Ruse Exposed in Chandrapur
6 Jan
Summary
- Poachers used live electric wires for illegal hunting.
- A tiger attacked a poacher during the illegal operation.
- Authorities busted the gang attempting to mislead with a false story.
In Chandrapur, officials from the Dhaba forest range recently apprehended a gang involved in illegal poaching activities. The group had attempted to deceive authorities by fabricating a story about a tiger attack to conceal their criminal actions.
Investigators uncovered that the injuries sustained by one of the poachers were actually a result of encountering a tiger during an illegal hunting attempt. The gang had been using live electric wires, a practice extremely dangerous to both wildlife and people in the area.
The operation was initiated based on a tip-off to the Central Chanda forest division, leading to a swift crackdown in the Gojoli reserved forest. The prime accused has confessed to entering the forest with accomplices for the illegal hunting, an offense for which a case has been registered.
