Two Arunachal Men Arrested in Assam with Seized Musk Deer Glands
Two men from Arunachal Pradesh were arrested in Assam's Kamrup Metropolitan district with six musk deer glands weighing 158 grams, seized during a police raid at Medhikuchi under Sonapur police station. The glands, valuable on the international black market, are protected under India's Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Authorities suspect Assam is being used as a transit route for illegal wildlife trade. Investigations are ongoing to determine the source, destination, and details of the trafficking network.
