00:00We lost one of our tiger skins, it was a magnetic tiger skin, and we had to go to a sub-adult.
00:13A few months ago, we had a camera set up at various places in J&K, so we had to go to a place to get some poachers.
00:24We were not able to capture the tiger skin, but J&K has a very strong intelligence.
00:32We deployed our intelligence at various places and were able to identify the tiger skin.
00:36After identifying the tiger skin, we were able to capture a few people in December of last year.
00:42We were able to recover a few nails and teeth, which could have been a tiger or a leopard.
00:50However, there was no response to such an interrogation.
00:54We were remanded to continue the investigation.
00:58On the 12th of January, we raided a village in Tentulia, Balighat, and found the skin.
01:08We found the skin in our Similipal South Division.
01:13We arrested four people and brought them to the court.
01:20In this entire case, ten people were arrested.

01:31we were able to find a gunshot wound.
01:37The gunshot wound was a male tiger.
01:41We tested the sample in the lab and confirmed it.
01:46The tiger was a juvenile.
01:49It was not very big.
