Crocodiles Rescued From Former BJP MLA's Property Following Tax Raid

Four crocodiles were removed from a pond at Harvansh Singh Rathore's property after Income Tax officials uncovered their presence during a ₹155 crore tax evasion investigation.

Income Tax officials discovered crocodiles at former BJP MLA Harvansh Singh Rathore's property during a tax raid in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh.
Forest department officials rescued four crocodiles from a pond on the premises, which the Rathore family claims was donated to a temple years ago.
The crocodiles, estimated to be over five years old and 8-10 feet in length, were relocated to the Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary.
The investigation also revealed tax evasion worth ₹155 crore, with ₹3 crore in cash and gold and silver jewelry seized during the raids.
A case has been registered under the Wildlife Protection Act, and authorities are examining the pond's ownership and prior correspondence about the crocodiles.
