[Guest guest]

LODGED FIR WITH NO RESULTS & THE STATEMENTS OF THE MINISTER, DC/SP & DFO ALL

TOGETHER DIFFERENT, NO COORDINATION AMONG THE ADMINISTRATION. THERE IS A

GUIDE LINES FROM THE CENTRAL GOVT. THAT CBI CAN ALSO HANDLE CRIME OF

WILDLIFE. WHY SPECIAL STATUS FOR J & K, 370 WHEN IT IS THE PART OF INDIAN

EARTH , WHY ANIMAL SUFFERS LIKE THIS?

PFA HARYANA RECORDED WHOLE EPISODE IN OUR VIDEO CAMERA & SENDING IT FOR

LEGAL OPENION TO DEAL THE ISSUE IN THE COURT OF LAW.
