Incidents took place for over a decade prior to 2015
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday ordered a CBI probe into a series of elephant poaching incidents reported in the State. Most of them took place for over a decade prior to 2015 and allegedly involved influential persons from across the country.
A Division Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and N. Sathish Kumar observed that the crimes indicated that the network involved cut across boundaries. This was not a mere case of poaching, but a demand was created by unknown customers and these names would tumble out after the investigation.
