CBI Probe Recommended in Tiger Poaching Case; MP Forest Department Alleges NGO Role in Leopard Poaching
The Chhattisgarh government has recommended a CBI investigation into a tiger poaching and wildlife trafficking network linked to the Indravati Tiger Reserve, following the arrest of a Maharashtra Police intelligence officer and an informer. Meanwhile, in Madhya Pradesh, the forest department accused the NGO Wildlife SOS and its CEO of involvement in leopard poaching near Kuno National Park, allegations the NGO denies. Both cases highlight ongoing concerns about wildlife crime and trafficking across states, involving complex networks and contested claims.
