Forest officials on Wednesday apprehended a gang for trading in wildlife and confiscated a red sand boa from them.
Members of the gang were trying to sell the snake they had caught from the forest of Ghatkesar for the past few days, claiming that the reptile brought.
Acting on a tip-off, Vigilance wing officials masqueraded as prospective buyers in order to catch the accused red-handed. Unawares, the gang members demanded ₹70 lakh for the snake weighing 4.5 kg. After repeated attempts, the gang of four were caught from a home at Nagaram near ECIL.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
