Vadodara: Police Narmada seizes animal skin that looks like a tiger skin from Sagbara Taluka on Monday night and catches a man.
Police said that the defendant Kishor Aherh was from Maharashtra when the police intercepted his car.
“We are conducting routine checks in Sagbara when our team looks at the car and try to stop it.
AHIR, who drives a car, does not stop and vice versa escape towards Dediapada,” said K L Galchar, Sagbara police sub-inspector.
The police chased the car for about 2 km and managed to stop the vehicle.
“When the car was examined, we found the skin that looked like a tiger.
We took allegations to the police station and told the forest officials.
When questioned, the defendant did not deny that it was a tiger skin.
He said that he used the skin while doing some rituals,” Galchar added.
The police said that there were several other men in the car, but they came out of the car when intercepted and escaped.
Ahir, a resident of the Nandurbar district in Maharashtra, told the police that those who accompanied him in the car had bought the skin.
“We suspect that the defendant used the skin in several rituals or to deceive people by convincing them that it brings luck.
The Ministry of Forestry will now carry out further investigations in this case.
We have given up animal skin to them.
It will be sent for the FSL test,” Galchar said.
