Bhopal : Two more crocodiles were rescued on Saturday from the residence of former BJP MLA Harvansh Singh Rathore in Sagar, completing the removal of four reptiles discovered at the property. Ateam from the Nauradehi Tiger Reserve captured the crocodiles, each measuring 6 to 7 feet, from a pond near the temple on the premises. They were transported to the reserve and will be released into the Bamner River later that night. The operation began on Friday when the team rescued two crocodiles after a four-hour effort. Those reptiles were medically examined and released into the Bamner River at around 11 pm. The rescue operation was carried out by a team from the Rani Durgavati Tiger Reserve on Friday. Poor visibility and the crocodiles hiding in the water delayed the rescue of the remaining two, which were removed the following day. The forest department has yet to register a case under the Wildlife Protection Act regarding the presence of crocodiles at the former MLA’s residence. Officials have not issued a statement despite repeated attempts for comment. Sources say they are yet to decide upon registering a case in the matter.
