PFA activist gets anticipatory bail

Jhajjar, July 4
The president of the Haryana chapter of the People for Animals, an NGO, Mr Naresh Kadian, was granted the anticipatory bail by the Additional District and Sessions Court, here, today.
Mr Kadian had allegedly exhumed the body of the black buck which was reportedly hunted down by Nawab Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and his accomplices near Jhajjar on June 3.
He took the body of the animal to the Delhi National Zoo for a post-mortem examination on June 5.
However, the police booked the NGO activist under various sections of the Wildlife Protection Act for exhuming the dead animal.
The police had maintained that the black buck was buried after conducting a post-mortem examination.
Mr Kadian had also applied for an anticipatory bail in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. His lawyer today said the bail application was withdrawn by Mr Kadian then.
He pleaded before the court of the ADJ, Mr A.S. Narang, that he only tried to bring to light the poaching incident and had no personal interest in the case.
