    Tree feller is caught, booked and will be punished and black money stashers have multiple ways to escape.

    Whatever the case, crime is a crime needs to be dealt with right punishment.

    What a big catch and how much of publicity for confiscating a few trees hacked by 'unscrupulous' persons, when huge container loads of 'red sanders' worth crores can even bypass all the authorities including port vigilance and get overseas (per one recent earlier report)!! At regular intervals some 'small fishes' are caught while the big whales are swimming free!! Jai Hind!!

    In “this is my India or in democracy” the rule is very simple. “You also do the same thing if you have guts, you also bribe the officials, they are waiting for the bribe they don’t look at your religion because all bribe takers religion is “MONEY”, and you also make money. don’t think of Mana Maryadey that and all is old fashion now a days. If you have money mana maryadey is knocking on your door outside!!!!!

    Unfortunately I don’t have the guts for all this and my conscious not accepting to do these crimes just read and press agree and keep quite.
