Evidences
of Involment of Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar of
Kerala Forest Department
in Large Scale Elephant Poaching in Kerala
Forests:
1.
Elephant Poaching Case
The
role of Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar, second
in Kerala
Forest Department hirarchy, & directly
in charge of Wildlife, in Elephant Poaching case is
a without any doubt confirmed.
It is not possible for the poachers to hunt elephants
in such a large scale, without active support from somebody
high in Kerala
Forest Department. Mr. N. A Naseer Photographer
& Wildlife Enthusiast, & other sources have
confirmed that more than 286 wild Elephants
were killed. If not directly involved, the
killing in large numbers of Elephants is a big failure
on the part of CWW. He should have quit long before
on moral grounds. His inefficiency, which led to the
biggest elephant poaching in history of mankind, is
another issue.
A
Poaching of this magnitude could not have taken place
without knowledge of Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar.
a.
A DFO or Range Officer may assist the poachers, but
as the poaching took place all over Kerala, it occured
under many DFOs & Range Officers. It is impossible
for all of them to be corrupt.
b.
Any case of Elephant / Tiger Poaching should be reported
to Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar, which
is mandatory by Law. Therefore most of the cases woulh
have been reported to Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar.
c.
Eventhough poaching took place for more than
1 & a half years & 286 wild
Elephants were killed, NOT even
a Single case was registered. Till Media
reported these, when a poacher himself approaced media.
Such huge Cover-Up could not have taken place without
the orders of Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar.
d.
Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar would not
have done that without being a part of the Poaching
Racket & without getting a cut of it.
e.
Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar
also under Vigelance Police probe in
taking huge bribes regarding the seizeing of Poached
Tusks from the house of a Film actor in Kerala.
2. Conservation of NeelagiriKaduva
The
person who is responsible to protect the Wildlife in
Kerala, & who draws people's money for the same,
Chief
Wildlife Warden G. Harikumar, is the
one who is opposing the Conservation of NeelagiriKaduva.
Though PCCF Biodiversity had promised permission to
search the Forests to take pictures of NeelagiriKaduva,
many times, it was Harikumar who was blocking it. As
it is a purposeful & deliberate action on his part,
his action amounts to something much worse than that
of the poachers.
As
he has committed multiple offences of grave nature,
he should be immediately removed from office, C.
B. I Probe
& Immediate Dismissal from
Kerala Forest Department
& other necessary punitive actions should be taken..
