No, that’s not a typo. They weren’t dropped by a plane (probably), and they didn’t swim across the Bay of Bengal. They were smuggled. Each is worth ₹20–25 lakh on the black market. The Wildlife Crime Control Bureau is now digging into how they got here; air, sea, or even road? Forest officials say there’s ZERO natural way these apes could’ve wandered into Baleshwar. This isn’t just a rescue; it’s a red flag on international wildlife trafficking. And if this happened in Odisha, where else might it be happening? The bigger question: Who’s buying? And why are we just finding out now?
