This after the main accused in the case managed toget bail on account of insufficient evidence which was apparently burnt villages in connivance with locals. Now that the case is as good as dead, the last centre should do is to ensure no repeats of this incident happen anywhere in teh country and all tiger death cases, including the ones where state governments are not keen on central inquiry are investigated transparently.

Wildlife Crime Control Bureau waiting for Goa Govt to order investigation into Tiger killing
A story two days back in local media had reported WCCB having taken up the case of tiger poached in Goa in march this year. WCCB Deputy Director has in a story on et online denied taking up the case and has cited regulations which dont allow them to take over a case unless asked by the state govt. From destruction of evidence to the main whistle blower being ostracised the case took at biazzare turn last week when some of the forest officials investigating the case were accused of beating up one of the accused in custody (read earlier post here http://planettiger.blogspot.com/2009/08/goa-tiger-poaching-case-investigators.html).
