“We had a credible tip-off that a consignment of hundreds of live parrots was being smuggled in from Kolkata and would be delivered to a local contact in Sakchi on Sunday. Our team promptly carried out a raid based on this information and seized deer horns, peacock feathers, and over 100 parrots in a box. Smuggling and trading of wildlife are illegal and a serious crime. Strong action will be taken against the arrested accused under the Forest Act and Wildlife Protection Act,” Saba Alam Ansari, Jamshedpur divisional forest officer (DFO), told HT on Monday.
