India: A special court here denied anticipatory bail to a national-level shooter on Thursday in an alleged case of running a poaching and illegal arms racket.

Special judge Sudesh Kumar denied relief to Prashant Vishnoi, noting that a number of incriminating items, including skulls, skin and meat of wild animals were seized from his premises along with arms and ammunitions and cash.

3 arrests made on May 1

The court also said that some other agencies along with the Wildlife Department were likely to take action against him.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had arrested three persons, including a Slovenian, on May 1 for their alleged involvement in a major gunrunning and wildlife smuggling racket.

The arrests were made after raids at Vishnoi’s house in Meerut. Vishnoi is the son of a retired Armyman.
