Narco Test granted for main accused in five lions electrocution

Gujarat Samachar (Briefly translated from Gujarati)

Five lions were killed due to electric shock in fencing of a farm owned by Durlabh Tapu Vadodariya. 72 years old Durlabh was caught along with three others. They all were remanded for four days but did not give out the facts. Forest department has many un-answered questions which include

Does Durlabh have connections with MP poachers?

It is doubtful that five lions have died in one night. When did lions die?

It is not possible that lions were buried in one single night by one weak old man.  How many more people were involved?

This incidence came to light but how many other wild animals died before this incidence with the electric shock? Farmer has agreed that he had been putting electric current since long.

Where are two claws?

With this all information still to be obtained and farmer not supporting the investigation, forest department demanded for narco test.. Looking to seriousness of the incidence, Hon. Judge of Dhari Court, Shri I I Pathan granted the permission.
