The jawans of the Maharashtra Security Force (MSF) during their search operations inside Film City, and near the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) campus, have recovered nine more metal snares in the past four days. Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) authorities will also carry out a search operation in the park jurisdiction, and register a separate offense against the arrested accused, who had admitted to killing a fawn inside Tulsi Range.

Two more arrests
Two more people were arrested on the evening on January 8. Suresh Kindra, 34, and Janu Kharpade, 36, both from Sai Bangoda, work as safai kamgar in Film City. They are in two-day custody of the Forest Department (FD). The other six accused are in 14-days judicial custody and will be put up in Thane jail. Sources from the Forest Department said, "Based on the confession given to us by the accused, we came to know that some people work on contract inside Film City as sweepers and few of them might be involved in setting up snares."
