DEHRADUN: The Uttarakhand forest department achieved another major success by nabbing the dreaded international poacher Bheema Bavaria. This comes close on the heels of the arrest of Narain Chand , the younger brother of another notorious deceased kingpin, Sansar Chand. Bheema had managed to escape arrest on May 16, when the forest department could arrest only two of his associates and relatives. A team of the forest department headed by division forest officer (DFO) of Lansdowne Division, Nitish Mani Tripathi, and Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) arrested the poacher from his residence at Gurgaon Tuesday night.He was earlier arrested in Karanprayag in district Chamoli in 2002, and held also in 2005, when tiger skins and other parts were recovered from him.Bheema was produced before the court of the chief judicial magistate, and sent to 14-day judicial remand.Bhima was wanted for killing at least 30 tigers in different parts of the country."It is a big victory for the forest department which had been tracking the movement of Bheema ever since he slipped away from its clutches from Kodri range of Lansdowne forest on May 16. The intelligence team of the department too has done an excellent job. WCCB too assisted us in this mammoth task," SK Sharma, principal chief conservator of forests, said.The arrest occurred on a tip-off from two of Bheema's accomplices, who were arrested on May 16, Tripathi said."He is involved in more than 30 killings of tigers though there are few cases registered against him. The forest areas of Lansdowne, Rajaji and Corbett have been his favourite poaching areas. He knew the land well and was adept in tracking down tigers. He is sharp, and has been able to hoodwink authorities times and again," Tripathi said.Bheema had been supplying tiger parts to China and south east Asian nations.
