Lion Poachers of Gujarat Punished
The much publicised Lion Poaching case of Junagadh ( March 2007 ) ends in conviction of all the accused , ( 20 ) twenty in number for 3yrs each and Rs 10,000/- fine each . This is the biggest conviction in the country in terms of number of people accused in any wildlife crime case .

10 Asiatic Lions were poached by Baheliya community from MP . The highlight of the case are:

• Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited the scene of Crime and spent about 6 hours .
• Strong and heavy Forensic Interface in collection of eveidence .
• Polygraph and Narco-analysis was done for the first time in a wildlife crime case .
• Appointment of Spl Public Prosecutors from Supreme Court to the Trial Court

Kudos to Gujarat Police and the Chief Minister for all support to the Police.
