Police and forest department officials seized five leopard skins in separate raids across Ganjam and Rayagada districts in Odisha. A total of 11 people, including a primary school teacher, have been arrested for their involvement in the wildlife smuggling racket. In Ganjam, two leopard skins and weapons were recovered, while in Rayagada, forest officials nabbed nine individuals including interstate smugglers. The poachers had reportedly killed the tigers last November and were attempting to sell the skins when they were caught.
