Dariya Juglal Bawaria, 60, was arrested by the Katni forest division on November 27. He is a resident of Pinjore, Haryana. Forest department officials recovered tiger and leopard spring traps, a cheetal skin, antlers, a spear and other poaching equipment. While sentencing Dariya, judicial magistrate Uma Shankar Agarwal observed that the traps appeared to have no other use but killing wild animals as leopard hair was found on one of the traps by forensic experts. "This is a unique judgment," Nitin Desai of WPSI said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
