DRI busts Pangolin scale smuggling racket in Telangana

In a significant crackdown on wildlife trafficking, officials of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Hyderabad Zonal Unit, seized 6.53 kilograms of Indian Pangolin scales during a day-long operation conducted on October 4 in Hanamkonda, Telangana.

Acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding illegal trading of pangolin scales, DRI officers mounted surveillance and apprehended four individuals involved in the illicit activity.

The seizure, which is estimated to have involved the poaching of approximately five Indian Pangolins, underscores growing concerns around the illegal wildlife trade.

Pangolins, often referred to as the most trafficked mammals in the world, are hunted primarily for their scales, which are in high demand in international markets, especially in parts of China and Southeast Asia. The scales are widely believed to possess medicinal properties in traditional practices, although such claims lack a scientific basis.
