Foresters arrest poacher

MYSURU: Male Mahadeshwara Wildlife Sanctuary foresters have arrested a man on charges of poaching a hare, and have seized snares from him.
Following a tip-off on poaching, Hoogyam forest range officers and staff visited Maralli ‘D’ Line forest area coming under Elethota beat near Minyam. There they found Sundara Nayak, 40, and Nagaraju, 45, residents of Maralli village, with a hare which they had allegedly caught by setting up a snare in the forest area.
Though the foresters caught Nayak, Nagaraju gave them the slip. Besides recovering the hare and snares, the foresters have launched a manhunt for Nagaraju.
