Four persons have been arrested for allegedly hunting down wild animals in Khad Rajgir forest on Thursday night, a forest official said on Friday.

Divisional Forest Officer Kulraj Singh said a sambar’s carcass was recovered from the accused.

A Wild Life Department team was patrolling the forest when it found six persons poaching a sambar with the help of greyhounds, Singh said. On noticing the forest team, two poachers fled the spot, while four were nabbed. The arrested accused were presented before a court that sent them to judicial custody, he added.
