By Munish Pandey: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested an absconding accused, Raidang Engti, in a rhino poaching case. After persistent and incessant efforts, the CBI traced the accused from village Lhomithi of Dimapur in Nagaland.
The CBI had registered a case on the request of the Assam government and subsequent notification from the Centre and taken over the investigation of the FIR, earlier registered in July 2012 at Rongmongwe Police Station in Assam’s Karbi Anglong.
It was alleged in the complaint that on July 1, 2012, that a rhino was killed by unidentified poachers and the horn was poached. The carcass of the rhino was lying in a hola located in between the two numbers of suburi of Long Koi Tisso Gaon.
“During the investigation, it was found that after killing the Rhino, the other accused sold the Rhino horn to said arrested accused at Dimapur (Nagaland). The complicity of the said accused had emerged as the person through whom the poached Rhino horn was traded and transacted for a hefty amount,” said the CBI.
