TNN | Updated: Aug 11, 2017, 07:31 AM ISTRAJKOT: On the eve of World Lion Day, five people were caught harassing Asiatic lions during an illegal show in Dhari (east) forest range on Wednesday night.
Sources said that the five people had illegally entered Sarasiya Vidi near Hirava village on bikes and they were trying to chase the lions. Beat guards Amru Vavadiya and Mahendrasinh Raizada, who got to know about their entry, rushed to the spot and caught the five persons,.
They were identified as Ghughabhai Himmatbhai, Nileshbhai Kalubhai,
Ramjibhai Bhikhubhai, Jayantibhai Shambhubhai and Sanjay Makwana, all
residents of Hirava village. The forest department imposed a penalty of
Rs 10,000 on them.
The incident comes barely 10 days after a video of some people in two
SUVs encircling a pair of lion and lioness that were preparing to mate.
The forest department had also launched an inquiry into the video that
was purportedly shot somewhere in Amreli and Bhavnagar district.
