Hyderabad: Red sanders smugglers may breathe easy. The forest department and the police are not confiscating their properties. They may just walk out of jail on bail, back to their fruits of crime.
They are booked under non-bailable sections and chargesheets are not filed on time. Most top smugglers own palatial buildings and luxury cars, say officials. AP biodiversity chairman Dr R. Hampaiah said, “Smugglers have grown extremely rich.
Even local politicians are involved. Their assets are not attached. Neither foresters nor the police is booking cases under IPC and AP Biodiversity Acts. Until the attack on foresters, they were booked under bailable sections.”
