The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) Mumbai Zonal Unit dismantled an illegal wildlife trafficking syndicate in Mysuru, Karnataka, seizing 4.058 kg of Indian elephant tusks and arresting three individuals. The tusks, protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, were handed over to local forest authorities for further action. Despite global bans, demand for Asian ivory remains high, and the DRI continues efforts to combat such environmental crimes.
