Balurghat:
The BSF rescued 58 rare species of birds from a private bus from Trimohini
Bazaar, about 21 km from here, on Tuesday afternoon. Acting on a tip-off, the
BSF jawans under 183 Battalions conducted the raids and rescued the birds which
were left abandoned in cages in the bus.
According
to a BSF source, these birds looked quite similar to Indian hen. Preliminary
investigation revealed that the cost of these rare birds was around Rs
58,00,000. None has been arrested till now.
The BSF
said these birds were kept in cages in a Hili-bound private bus from Kolkata.
It is suspected that they were being smuggled to Bangladesh because of their
high demands in the neighbouring country. The BSF conducted the search
operation after getting information from a reliable source that some rare birds
were being smuggled to Bangladesh.
