Person in Nayagarh, Odisha was detained by STF for having a leopard hide.

In Nayagarh, a recent development has taken place as the Special Task Force (STF) of Odisha Police, in collaboration with Nayagarh forest division officials, successfully apprehended an individual and confiscated a leopard hide from his possession.

On Monday, sources from the STF revealed that they received credible information and immediately sprang into action. They formed a team and joined forces with the forest officials of Nayagarh Division to carry out a raid on the night of June 30. The operation took place on NH 57, specifically under Khamarsahi police limits in Nayagarh district.

During the raid, the team was able to detain a man named Bairagi Behera. Upon further investigation, they discovered that he was in possession of a leopard hide, along with other incriminating materials related to wildlife. It was evident that he did not have any legal authority to possess the leopard skin.

As a result, Behera was taken into custody by the STF and a case was registered against him. He was then presented before the SDJM court in Daspalla. It is expected that the leopard skin will be sent to Director WII in Dehradun for biological examination.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our wildlife and the consequences of illegal possession of such endangered species. The STF, along with other authorities, will continue to work towards preserving our natural resources and bringing justice to those who violate the law.
