6 of Bawaria poaching gang sentenced to 3 yrs RI
The New Indian Express
|August 28, 2025
A Judicial Magistrate Court in Sathyamangalam has sentenced six members of a notorious Bawaria poaching gang to three years of rigorous imprisonment in a landmark tiger and leopard poaching case, the first conviction secured by the Tamil Nadu Forest and Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (TNFWCCB) since its inception in 2023.
The accused — Krishan (59), Ramchandar (50), Ratna (40), Bimala (51), Sunita (35) and Mangal (28) — hail from Punjab and Rajasthan, and belong to the nomadic Bawaria community. They were arrested in February 2023 after forest officials and police, acting on intelligence from the non-profit Wildlife SOS, carried out a covert joint operation in the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve.
According to court records, the gang had been camping inside the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, operating from temporary tents, and is believed to have entered Tamil Nadu years ago under the guise of being petty traders.
On February 19, 2023, they trapped a female tiger and a male leopard in the Avalanchi forest near Ooty.
