Bhawanipatna: In the Kalahandi district of Odisha, STF soldiers and Forest officials have arrested one guy and confiscated a leopard skin.
On Thursday, a team from the STF conducted a raid near Satpur Chhak between the Bhawanipatna and Rayagada state highways under the Bhawanipatna Wildlife North Range based on reliable information regarding the sale of wildlife products. They were assisted by Bhawanipatna Forest officials from the district.
Wildlife criminal Kailash Majhi of Gunupur, within the Narla police limits of the Kalahandi district, was captured during the operation. During the search, a leopard skin and other potentially damaging items were found in his possession.
The accused person was held and sent over to Bhawanipatna Forest Officials for the requisite legal action because he was unable to produce any documentation to prove his possession of the leopard skin. Additional research is being done.
