Bhubaneswar: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will probe into four cases of smuggling of leopard skin and ivory in Odisha.
The investigation is aimed at tracking the money trail and laundering involved in the illegal trade.
The ED has already taken over four cases registered in 2021 which were earlier investigated by the Crime Branch. Four persons have been summoned for interrogation by the Central agency so far.
The four cases under probe include the arrest of Subir Nath Singh Deo from Nuapada in February 2021 and Bargarh’s Satyabrata Sahu in November last year.
