Bhubaneswar: The STF has busted another racket of wild animal hides in western Odisha as its personnel have seized 3 leopard skins in Jharsuguda.

As per reports, an STF team conducted a raid on a house at Malidhi Chhak on Jharsuguda-Kuchinda road following reliable information about a deal to sell the animal skins on Sunday.

During the raid, they apprehended 3 persons while the deal was going on and recovered 3 leopard hides from their possession.
