Chamarajanagar: DCF Chakrapani suspended over death of five tigers
Chamarajanagar: The Karnataka government has suspended Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) Y. Chakrapani in connection with the unnatural deaths of five tigers in the Gajanur area near Meenyam, under the Hoogya range of the Male Mahadeshwara Wildlife Sanctuary.
The suspension follows recommendations made by a high-level inquiry committee constituted by the government to investigate the deaths. The action has been taken on grounds of dereliction of duty, and a departmental inquiry by the Forest Department is still pending.
The investigation also revealed that outsourced staff working in the wildlife sanctuary had not received their salaries from March to May. As a result, some of the staff held a protest on June 23 in front of the Kollegal divisional office, demanding payment. This lapse has also been cited in the inquiry findings.
DCF Chakrapani has been directed not to leave his headquarters until further notice.
