Recently, four men in the Indian state of Maharashtra attracted the attention of the police.
Surveillance footage from the local forestry department showed them lurking around the forest.
Later, they went straight into the forest and walked around, their whereabouts mysterious.
This is the Sahdari Tiger Sanctuary, which was set up by the Indian government in 2008 to protect Bengal tigers, and the gang is likely to have come to poach.
Rangers immediately arrived at the scene, but only one of them was caught, and the others fled.
The police searched the arrested man.
Although I knew they had come to poach, I did not expect that there would be an unexpected and terrible discovery.
Police found video on the cell phone of the arrested man who had gang-raped a Bengal monitor lizard more than 1 meter long.
The Bengal monitor lizard can reach a length of up to 175 cm and can weigh about 7 kg.
Adult Bengal monitor lizards are generally active on the ground and can also climb trees.
It is mainly fed by arthropods such as insects and spiders, but also eats birds, fish, frogs, snakes, bats, and other lizards.
In fact, the adult Bengal monitor lizard is also a fierce character.
After all, even snakes, toads, spiders, and bats can be on its menu.
It can be seen that their bodies have a relatively strong immunity to various toxins and germs.
However, the Bengal monitor lizard has also been hunted by humans,
Because locals believe that the genitals of these monitor lizards have an aphrodisiac effect.
It is worth mentioning that the Bengal monitor lizard is a preserved species under India's Wildlife Protection Act.
At present, it is not known whether the Bengal monitor lizard in the video has been removed from the genitals.
But what is certain is that it was gang-raped by this gang of men...
In addition to videos of sexually assaulting Bengal monitor lizards,
The police also found photos of rabbits, porcupines, deer and other animals in the mobile phones of the arrested men.
After the investigation, three other suspects were later arrested in the village of Hatif in Ratnagiri district.
Police seized two guns from them and seized two motorcycles.
Subsequently, police released the names of the four suspect men, namely Sandeep Tukram, Pawar Mangesh, Janardhan Kamtekar and Akshay Sunil.
At present, the case has been referred to the Indian Criminal Court.
As a human being, he actually sexually assaulted a monitor lizard!?
Even the forestry officials who saw more big scenes were confused about this.
Next, forest officials will hold discussions with the Indian Criminal Court to bring charges against the four defendants.
These heartbroken poachers are likely to face years in prison.
After netizens learned of this matter, they were shocked and disgusted:
"It's disgusting, so let the animals go."
"I'm going to throw up."
"A monitor lizard was gang-raped in India.
The rapists recorded footage of the scene with their cell phones.
Remember their names. ”
"Eat cow dung, drink cow urine, and live like an animal."
What can you expect? ”
"I don't know what virus they're carrying right now."
"Unfortunately, even animals are not safe in India..."
