Port Blair, Oct 10: The CID branch of A & N Police is confident that the wildlife materials they had seized a few days back were actually elephant tusks but the Forest Department is still in doubt and are not ready to accept the fact.
But Andaman Sheekha has run independent investigation and the information gathered by this press indicates that the materials seized by forest Department were actually Elephant Tusks.
According to information gathered here a team of five poachers had gone to Landfall Island nearly three months back and killed an elephant for its tusks. After killing the elephants these poaches reportedly chopped off the head of the elephant and kept it between giant stone pieces so that the head decomposes fast, because of dampness. The tusks were not immediately removed because if they cut the tusks they won’t be able to get the complete tusk and won’t get the amount they desired.
Sources have confirmed that one of the accused detained by CSS and CID team during the recent operation was there in the poaching team but it seems that soon he will walk free as Forest Department is showing almost zero interest in this case.
