Jajpur, Mar 28: Youtuber Monalisha Bhadra and her husband Badri Narayan Bhadra surrendered to the range office in Jajpur last night following a raid by forest officials at their residence in Jahala village under Sadar police station limits in Jajpur. The raid was conducted due to alleged violations of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
Reportedly, the couple had kept numerous wild animals in their home and had been sharing photos and videos of them on social media, despite being warned against such actions multiple times. On Sunday, forest officials conducted a raid on their property and filed a case against them. The officials were also informed that they had transported the wild animals outside of Odisha.
Following their surrender, they were court forwarded today.
