A 38-year old man, allegedly involved in poaching of wild animals, has been arrested and deer hide and a country-made gun seized from him by forest officials in Sathyamangalam Forest.
Thangaraj, who was travelling by a bus, attempted to escape when a team of forest personnel on a routine patrol started checking the vehicle at Perumpallam in Kemmanaickkenpalayam forest area last night, Forest Ranger Johnson said today.
However, the forest personnel managed to nab him and a search of him yielded the deer hide, country-made gun and gun powder, he said.
