Assam Police Seize Elephant Tusks Worth Rs 6 Lakh

Police officers in Assam, a state in India, caught two people who were trying to sell elephant tusks.

Elephant tusks are the long teeth of elephants, and it is against the law to trade them.

The officers took the two tusks away from the suspects.

The tusks weighed about two kilograms each.

The suspects were asking for about six lakh rupees, which is a very large amount of money.

The police filed a case against the two people.

They also handed the tusks and the suspects to the Forest Department, which protects wild animals and forests.

The officers now want to find out if other people are part of a bigger animal-trafficking network across India.

Selling animal parts is serious because it puts elephants in danger.
