Wildlife SOS CEO Summoned in Madhya Pradesh Leopard Poaching InvestigationPreviousNext

Two men arrested for leopard poaching in Madhya Pradesh have implicated Wildlife SOS CEO Kartick Satyanarayan, alleging they worked under his instructions. Investigators have gathered digital evidence and summoned Satyanarayan to appear before authorities on August 17. The probe examines whether poaching and staged seizures were used to enhance the NGO's anti-poaching image and if there was involvement in wildlife trafficking. Wildlife SOS has not responded to requests for comment.
