Sri Vijaya Puram, Oct 20: In a significant anti-poaching operation, the Anti-Poaching Team of Police Station Teressa had successfully apprehended eight Myanmarese poachers near Bambooka Island on 17th August 2024. The poachers were subsequently booked under the Foreigners Act, 1946, and the case is being investigated by PS Crime and Economic Offence. During sustained interrogation, the Myanmarese poachers revealed that some local residents of Bambooka Island, under the jurisdiction of Police Station Teressa, had met with them and provided various logistical support. In return, the poachers had given these residents certain gratifications for their assistance.
As part of the ongoing investigation, several articles provided by the Myanmarese poachers have been recovered from two local residents, identified as Robinson Vinod S/o Cephas (33)yrs R/o Bambooka, Teressa & Ronald S/o Inicoinylo (37)yrs R/o Bambooka, Teressa by a police team comprising Sub-Inspector Parvash, Constable Amos George, and Constable Amit Singh. As a result, these individuals have been arrested, and investigation is actively progressing to uncover further details and connections in this case.
The general public of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is strongly urged not to interact with or provide any assistance to foreign poachers within Indian territorial waters. These poachers not only deplete our valuable marine resources but also pose serious threats to national security.
The general public is therefore advised to report any sightings of foreign intruders or poachers, whether at sea or on land, to the nearest police station, the Police Control Room at 03192-232100, or to the Coast Guard authorities immediately.
