Three Arrested in Chhattisgarh with Tiger Skin and Pangolin Scales
Three men were arrested in Chhattisgarh's Surajpur district for possessing a tiger skin and pangolin scales during a joint operation by the state forest department and the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau. Acting on intelligence received on July 27, officials intercepted the suspects near Baijnathpur village on July 28. The seized items lacked valid documentation, and investigations suggest possible involvement of a wider trafficking network. Authorities are examining whether the accused were poachers or solely involved in smuggling.
