A perfect example about how we abuse our natural wealth. A forest is protected, wild animals are protected but just for namesake. All three in this news are thieves in their own style. Tragic that one had to lose his life and other two will end up in jail.
We can’t call their family members to be orphans because all these years the very men raised the family out of income from theft. In other words, the family too is guilty, not victims. Then, who for the law is ?
