One more arrested from poacher family

TOI report today carries arrest story of brother of dreaded wildlife poacher Sansar Chand. After many failed attempts at arresting Narayan the cops finally got hold him of him outside the court in Delhi of all the places. The gentleman apparently has attended court hearings in the past too and managed to give the cops a slip. The incident also speaks volumes about the will shown by the state so far to prosecute known wildlife criminals, Imagine wanted criminals escaping from courts for years with the cops looking the other way. A similar story in MP had come to light recently where another dreaded poacher was netted after having rum amok for years causing incalculable damage to the country's wildlife.

In Sansar Chand's case the story says his entire family is still at large and continuing with their ancestoral family business in wildlife trading. The sooner cops act on it the better. What is also important in such cases is tomake bail provisions very stringent and prosecute efficiently so as to not allow the criminal to bypass the law and continue his activities.
