A man suspected of killing 70 endangered tigers has been arrested in Bangladesh after a 20-year search.
Habib Talukder – known as Tiger Habib – was finally caught following a tip off, after three previous arrest warrants had been issued for him, police said.
He has operated in the Sundarbans mangrove forest, on the border between India and Bangladesh.
The area is home to the world’s largest population of Bengal tigers. Only a few thousand remain in the wild.
Black market traders buy their pelts, bones and even flesh for sale around the globe.
“He was on the run for a long time,” police chief Saidur Rahman told the Dhaka Tribune.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=BBCWorld&dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1399253360692273153&lang=en-gb&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-asia-57308587&sessionId=8788ef4c6988eb74b715e2abbe33eae67eba57e5&siteScreenName=BBCWorld&theme=light&widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&width=550pxThe BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.View original tweet on Twitter
