Acting on a tip-off regarding presence of poachers in the sanctuary, a team of five forest officials conducted raid at the spot.

Seeing the raiding team, a group of nearly 80 miscreants, hiding in the woods, suddenly appeared before them and beat them up them severely.

Those injured were later rescued by some locals and admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment. One of the victims was shifted to the district headquarters after his condition deteriorated.
