Kendrapara: 3 Arrested for Pangolin Scale Smuggling; STF & Forest Dept Conduct Major Raid

In a major crackdown on wildlife smuggling, the Rajnagar Forest Department and the STF team successfully nabbed three smugglers in Nilakanthapur village, Kendrapara. The team conducted a joint operation where forest officials posed as dummy customers to bust a deal involving 14 pangolin scales (Bajrakapta Kati) worth lakhs of rupees.
Apart from the scales, officials seized two bikes and three mobile phones from the accused. While pangolins are not typically found in the Bhitarkanika or local forest areas, authorities suspect an interstate smuggling link. The arrested individuals will be produced in court tomorrow. Watch the full report for details on this high-stakes decoy operation.
