Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi is wanted in Madhya Pradesh in connection with tiger poaching and wildlife trafficking cases, as reported by Times of India. The Madhya Pradesh forest department has announced a reward of approximately US$ 1,175 for information leading to his arrest after the Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected his bail plea.
Officials described it as the highest reward ever announced by the department’s Special Tiger Strike Force in a wildlife crime case. Tamang is also the subject of an Interpol Red Corner Notice.
The article states that Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi, 47, is wanted in connection with the poaching of a radio-collared tiger from Satpura Tiger Reserve in Narmadapuram district and trafficking of pangolins from different parts of Madhya Pradesh. Investigators suspect he acted as a key middleman between poaching networks in the state and buyers linked to international wildlife trafficking syndicates. Rewards of approximately US$585 each were also announced for Tarke Lama alias Dharke Lama and Al Haj Md Shafiqul Islam alias Rahman Talukdar, who are wanted in related wildlife crime cases.
Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi Is The Manhunt That Matters
The priority now is simple: find him. Not eventually. Not when the file gathers more dust. Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi is wanted by authorities, linked by investigators to tiger poaching, pangolin trafficking, and international wildlife crime networks. Every day he remains absconding is another day the trafficking chain learns that time, distance, and borders can protect its middlemen.
This is not a call for vigilantes. Anyone with credible information should report it to lawful authorities, not confront suspects directly. Wildlife trafficking is organised crime. It requires evidence, arrest, prosecution, and coordination between forest officials, police, CBI channels, Interpol systems, and border authorities.
But we appreciate everyone to particpate in his capture.
Madhya Pradesh Must Act Like It Means It
The reward is not the main story, but it still says something. Approximately US$ 1,175 for a suspect linked to an alleged international tiger trafficking network is not a serious signal. Approximately US$ 585 for other wanted suspects is even weaker. If Madhya Pradesh wants help from the public, informants, and enforcement networks, it must show that catching Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang is worth more than a symbolic announcement.
A radio-collared tiger was allegedly poached from Satpura. That detail should shame the system into urgency. A tiger under monitoring still ended up inside a trafficking case. If that does not trigger serious funding, stronger rewards, wider publicity, and relentless pursuit, then what will?
Tiger Trafficking Survives When Suspects Vanish
Officials cited in the article believe the network may connect to Myanmar and Chinese nationals and involve the smuggling of tigers, smooth-coated otters, turtles, pangolins, and other endangered species. Repeated seizures of tiger hides suspected to have originated from Madhya Pradesh in Nepal and Ethiopia have also pointed toward organised cross-border trafficking.
This is why one absconding suspect matters. Tiger poaching does not end with the person who sets the trap or fires the weapon. It continues through middlemen, buyers, transporters, safe houses, corrupt routes, and international demand. If a suspected link in that chain disappears, the machine keeps breathing. If he is captured, questioned, and prosecuted, the chain can be forced open.
Capture Must Replace Symbolism
The public should know the name of Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi because the tiger cannot speak it. Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi is wanted, and every lawful lead should be taken seriously. Madhya Pradesh should raise the reward, widen the alert, coordinate across borders, and treat this manhunt as a test of its seriousness against tiger trafficking. Anything less looks like performance.
No trafficker should believe a tiger from Satpura can be turned into profit and then forgotten. No middleman should be allowed to hide behind aliases, bail history, borders, or bureaucratic delay.
The goal is not a headline. The goal is capture.
The pursuit of Jaiy Tamang Alias Pasang Limi belongs inside the larger fight against tiger trafficking, where every arrest matters because every missing trafficker keeps the killing machine alive.
