# Sacked Delhi police constable held for Kuno leopard poaching 2026-08-13T17:36:47+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Madhya Pradesh's State Tiger Strike Force has arrested former Delhi Police constable Bhagwan Singh alias Salim in connection with the killing of 10 leopards in the Kuno-Chambal forest landscape. The arrest came after 10 leopard skins were seized in Agra on July 23. Eight other suspects are already in jail, and investigators are examining whether a major wildlife conservation NGO had any role in what sources describe as possible 'contractual poaching'. Separately, a man arrested last year for stalking and molesting two Australian women cricketers in Indore has been charged with the 2015 murder of a 17-year-old boy. Aqeel Khan (30) was arrested after he allegedly boasted about getting away with the killing. Police say he had been out on bail in the molestation case. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: contractual poaching, Delhi Police, Kuno National Park, leopard poaching, Madhya Pradesh, wildlife crime Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sacked-delhi-police-constable-held-for-kuno-leopard-poaching/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
