Tiger and Leopard Skins Seized in Kerala

11 July 2007 



Two tiger skins were seized by the Kerala Forest Department on 7 July 2007 in Palakkad Division. Two men have been arrested and produced before the Judicial Magistrate First Class in Pattambi. Three others are absconding. The raid was led by Shri Srivalsan, DFO Flying Squad at Kozhikkod, and a vehicle was also seized.
