00:18It is very sad to see.

00:19What happened is that this incident took place in a mountainous area.

00:22A case was filed under the Balochistan Wildlife Act against seven people.

00:27But this leopard went and hid in the cave.

00:30The local people followed its footprints and it went inside.

00:35And they shot it and killed it.

00:37You can see that it has a gun too.

00:39So according to the wildlife act,

00:41this is the second incident of Tendwe's hunt during three months.

00:45I was thinking that this smiling person,

00:49what was he thinking?

00:50Was he going to be given a special award?

00:52Or what did he want to achieve?

00:55This is a very rare breed of Persian leopard.

00:58So let's talk about it.

01:00We have with us the Secretary of Wildlife,

01:02Dostain Jamaldini.

01:05Thank you so much, Dostain, for talking to us.

01:08Tell us, this rare breed of Tendwe has been killed.

01:11Was there any information that there are such Tendwe here?

01:14Did the wildlife have any such information?

01:17Obviously, we are not present everywhere.

01:20And this is wildlife.

01:22But there is one thing.

01:24Legally, any wild animal is a wild animal.

01:29So regardless of whether it is hunted or killed,

01:34whether that occurs in a protected area or a non-protected area,

01:39that is a crisis.

01:41Our presence is in our protected area.

01:46Outside is a protected area.

01:48And the killing of this Persian leopard

01:53in Dehradun is a non-protected area.

01:59It is a protected animal.

02:03Protected animal means that the person who kills it

02:08or hunts it...

02:11Please tell us about these Tendwe.

02:15Why are they here?

02:17Where do they come from?

02:18And how do they get so close to the population?

02:20Normally, they live separately.

02:24Yes, absolutely.

02:25As soon as we heard about this,

02:27we are thankful to social media

02:29that they reached out to us very quickly.

02:32And after that, we met in the next meeting.

02:34They have also been identified.

02:37And against them, an FIR has been filed this morning.

02:40And along with that,

02:42the Judicial Magistrate's office has also been identified.

02:46Now, at least seven people are under arrest.

02:50And they have been arrested.

02:53They can also be arrested.

02:57Thank you very much, Mr. Jamal Dini.

02:59We were talking to you.
