A "criminal network" allegedly behind the poaching of peacocks and export of peacock feathers illegally to China will be investigated by the CBI.
The CBI filed a case after customs authorities in New Delhi seized a consignment of 77 packages that had 2,565 kg of peacock tail feathers. The feathers are worth Rs 5.25 crore.
The consignment was shipped in the name of "plastic flexible pipes" by M/s Galaxy Rider to recipients in China, said CBI sources.
Investigations reveal that 26 such consignments were sent to China, using the same MO, between September and February.
