Officers of the Junagadh territorial forest department have arrested 11 people from Porbandar, Junagadh, Devbhumi Dwarka, Jamnagar and Ahmedabad districts in Gujarat for allegedly poaching an Indian pangolin from the revenue area of Porbandar district and then trying to sell it at a big price.
Acting on a tip-off, officers of the Kutiyana range in the Junagadh division caught two men from Porbandar with a pangolin on December 18. A man rearing cattle caught the scaly mammal after it got trapped in a fishing net he had tied around his agricultural plantation on the periphery of the Barda Wildlife Sanctuary, forest officers said. He was trying to sell the nocturnal animal with the help of others when the forest department nabbed him.
