Do not link this news with relocation of lions to MP. This article is not

against MP state but it is against poachers. And the fact is MP is the

reproduction centre of poachers. This is proved numerous times in numerous

poaching cases ALL OVER INDIA!

 

 

 

So please do not make un-necessary comments without knowing the fact.

MP's tribal group involved in poaching: CID

The tribal community of Baheliyas is ''actively involved'' in poaching of

Asiatic lions in Gir sanctuary, the Gujarat Crime Investigation Department

(CID) has said.

 

''Under the garb of selling traditional medicines and toys, this tribal

community members indulge in poaching of wild animals,'' a letter written by

CID (Crime) Officer Keshav Kumar to Junagadh Range Inspector General (IG)

Mohan Jha said.

 

There are about 15,000 Baheliyas, basically from Katni in Madhya Pradesh,

who are actively involved in poaching all over the country.

 

''They camp themselves on the outskirts of the town and put up a tent at the

roads and sell medicine and toys. They travel mostly in trains and buses,''

the letter said.

 

''The men go out in the forest during night for hunting animals and women

sell them. They travel mostly by trains and state transport buses to avoid

checking by police,'' the letter said.

 

Though the State CID has arrested many tribe members, including the kingpin

Sharkashlal, they have not recovered any body parts of the poached lions.

 

There has been no incident of poaching since April 2007 in Gir, but the CID

letter said the 'poaching community' returns when the heat of the police and

forest patrolling decreases.

 

Around eight lions were poached in different areas in and around Gir

Wildlife Sanctuary in March and April 2007 for their claws, bones and body

parts.
