In a significant breakthrough for wildlife conservation efforts, Chirang Police have arrested three poachers responsible for the recent killing of elephants in Manas Tiger Reserve, just 48 hours after the incident was discovered on May 3. The swift action has resulted in the recovery of crucial evidence, including two single-barrel muzzle-loading (SBML) guns, ammunition, walkie-talkies, poaching equipment, and most importantly, two elephant tusks.

The arrests highlight the Assam government’s unwavering commitment to wildlife protection, particularly in the wake of the tragic discovery of three elephant carcasses in the Palengshi Beat area under the Panbari range in the western part of Manas National Park near the India-Bhutan border last Friday.

The Govt of Assam remains steadfast in its commitment to wildlife protection.

In a major breakthrough, @chirangpolice cracked the Manas Tiger Reserve elephant poaching case within 48 hours of the 3rd May incident.

Forest department officials confirmed that two of the elephants were killed by poachers, while the third elephant discovered in the park died of natural causes due to old age. The poachers had specifically targeted the animals for their valuable tusks, which can fetch substantial sums in the illegal wildlife trade.

Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) Chief Executive Member Pramod Boro, who had earlier expressed grave concern over the poaching incident, welcomed the arrests and reaffirmed the government’s determination to eradicate wildlife crime in the region.
