Uttarakhand HC warns of referring tiger poaching case to CBI.
Noting the “seriousness” of a tiger poaching incident where five tigers were allegedly killed by poachers inside the state boundaries, the Uttarakhand High Court, on Thursday, stated its dissatisfaction with the inaction of the state government on the case where forest department officials have been accused of introducing lapses that resulted in the poaching of tigers. The court therefore warned the state government that it might refer the case to the CBI.
