Following a cheetah hunting incident in Kuno, wildlife activist Ajay Dubey has written to the centre demanding a CBI inquiry and a review of radio‑collared tigers and leopards.
A cheetah was reportedly killed in the Kuno wildlife sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh, prompting immediate criticism of the state's wildlife protection measures.
Ajay Dubey, a noted wildlife activist, addressed a formal letter to the Union government highlighting the incident and urging a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
In the same correspondence, Dubey asked authorities to examine the status of radio‑collared tigers and leopards operating in the sanctuary, questioning whether existing monitoring systems are being compromised.
The activist’s appeal underscores growing concerns among conservation groups about illegal hunting and the adequacy of enforcement in protected areas.
The central government has not yet responded publicly to the request for a CBI investigation.
