A probe has been launched to find out how many other people were present at the scene at the time of the incident and what actually happened. The forest department has detained 2 other suspected youths who had come for lion darshan and are interrogating them. The mobile will be sent to the FSL. A shocking revelation has been made during the investigation of the forest department. Checking the mobile phones of the youths present, it was found that they had deleted the photographs and videos of Simha Darshan and deleted the mobile data format. This has strengthened the suspicions of the forest department. Now this suspicious mobile phone will be sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory so that the deleted data can be recovered. What is 'Simha Darshan'? DCF Chirag Amin clarified the definition of illegal lion darshan and said that if a lion is seen in any village or area or in a farmer's orchard, then it is not called lion darshan. But when you go to the lion's territory to see a lion and disturb it in any way, harass or provoke it, that is called illegal lion sighting. He added that harassing or harassing wildlife is a very serious and criminal act under the Wildlife Act. If any person is found to be involved in such activity, the forest department will take the strictest legal action against him. At the same time, he appealed to the local citizens to immediately inform the forest department if they come across any person harassing wild animals. ------ Also read: Lion held man's hand in mouth for half an hour, let go When he pampered, he let go The lion attacked from behind and knocked down a maldhari named Kalubhai Parmar in Mota Garajia village of Palitana district.
