Activists Demand Arrest of Langur Trafficker in Jagtial
Animal lovers in Jagtial found two langurs being kept in rice mills, which is not allowed by law.
They asked the local government to catch the person who brought the langurs there.
This person, named Srinu, might be part of a bigger group that moves and sells langurs illegally.
The animal lovers have proof like phone numbers and recordings to help catch the bad guys.
They want the government to punish them to stop this from happening again.
Two langurs were rescued from rice mills in Kodimyal mandal, Jagtial district.
Animal welfare activists demanded the arrest of a suspected wildlife trafficker named Srinu.
The trafficker is allegedly part of an organized inter-State network involved in illegal langur trade.
SAFI provided evidence including visiting cards, phone numbers, and audio recordings to authorities.
The NGO urged the district collector to direct a comprehensive investigation into the trafficking network.
