| The Central Bureau of Investigation has unearthed some startling facts about wildlife poacher Sansar Chand, the man who killed, skinned and sold 654 leopards, 40 tigers, 32 otters and a number of other protected species in the country's wildlife preserves. Special Investigation Team (SIT) of CBI headed by DIG BK Sharma has been trailing Sansar Chand's poaching syndicate after he was found to be involved in killing the tigers of Sariska Tiger Reserve. The CBI claimed to have recovered from Akash, the son of 'Veerappan of North India', a slim diary with insights into his father's extensive poaching network across the country and abroad besides giving details of trading in wildlife trophies worth Rs 1.38 crore. "The startling discovery in the form of a notebook/diary allegedly belonging to accused Akash contains details of the trading done in 654 leopards, 40 tigers and 32 otters, etc, valued at Rs 1.38 crore," the agency said. In a supplementary charge-sheet filed on May 29 against the kingpin's right-hand man Satyabhan, CBI has highlighted the diary as prime evidence to nail all the accused under the stringent MCOCA. "The transactions in the diary not only reflect the economy involved in the trade but also indicate the extent to which the unabated offence against wildlife of the country is being committed by the organised crime syndicate controlled by Sansar Chand," the agency said in the charge-sheet. In the diary, a code letter(s) or word determines each animal. 'C' stands for cheetahs, 'T' for tigers, 'A' (AK or AG) denotes otters and the word 'panja' synonyms tiger claws. |
