Poaching verdict MMH Hills
Poaching verdict MMH Hills exposes how weak India’s justice system is when tigers are killed. Five tiger deaths shocked the Male Mahadeshwara Wildlife Division. Three men—Madhuraj, Nagaraj, and Konappa—were arrested, examined at the hospital, and presented before Chief Civil Judge Kavya Shree. The verdict? Judicial custody for only three days. That is how much the courts weigh extinction.
Forest officers did their part. DCF Chakrapani, ACF Gajanan Hegde, and Hugyam RFO Madesh led the arrests, gathered evidence, and delivered suspects to court. But judges carry the responsibility to protect the law, and here they chose leniency. This poaching verdict MMH Hills will echo across trafficking networks, teaching criminals that the risk is low, the profit high, and the courts soft.
This is not a gap. It is complicity. Tigers are not only being hunted in forests but betrayed in courtrooms where poaching verdicts MMH Hills like this one undermine every promise of justice. Read more in our cornerstone on political failure that enables extinction.
