Five persons including two Chinese nationals Yau Fu, 48, and Ju Jiangbo, 40, Indians Ameet Jain, 30, and Sunil Kumar Sharma, 31, and Nepali car driver Bhakta Bahadur Tamang, 30, were arrested along with pangolin scales.
The DFO had released the Indians and the Nepali saying their involvement in poaching could not be established while filing case against the Chinese duo. But the three were again arrested by forest officials for further investigations.
