Tiger skeleton case registered

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: After a tiger skeleton was recovered from a residential premises at Surat Nagar in Gurgaon on Monday following a combined raid by the local police and officials of the Delhi-based Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, the Haryana police have registered a case and are now looking for the accused identified as Bhima Bavaria.

A senior official of the Bureau said on Tuesday: “The house we raided belongs to a person identified as Bhima. He managed to escape before the police could reach his residence. A complete tiger skeleton and traps used by poachers to capture wild animals in the forest were recovered during the raid.”

Wildlife Protection Society of India executive director Belinda Wright said: “This is an important case as poaching is now happening on a small precious group of tiger population in the country. The accused Bhima is on the wanted list in Uttar Pradesh. He could be working with a group and is wanted in cases registered against him in 2002 and 2005.”
