Animal trouble arrests...engineer and two arrested for disturbing wild elephants

TT, Jalpaiguri: An engineer and two of his associates were arrested by the state forest department on Saturday for allegedly disturbing a herd of wild elephants, teasing them and getting into the core areas of forests.
Forest sources said Jasoprakas Debdas, an engineer at Jalpaiguri municipality, was arrested from Karbala Tea Estate in Banarhat - around 60km from here.
Foresters said charges under the Wildlife Conservation Act and Information Technology Act would be brought against him and Debdas will be produced in a court on Sunday.
A forest officer said: "We have reports that Debdas used to enter into the core areas of Gorumara National Park and Chapramari forest without permission, click photos of wild animals and annoy them. He is also accused of misbehaving with our staff."
Debdas, sources said, had also been accused of using drones to take photos of wild animals in the core areas and upload those in the social media. "Two others who used to accompany the engineer have also been arrested," said a forest source.
