“We have collected Rs. 20,000 fine from Jadeja for flouting rules inside the sanctuary during his visit in June. Since he was not available, we have taken the statement from his father-in-law, who also paid the fine on Jadeja’s behalf,” Singh said.
“Penalty and inquiry report are two different things. The inquiry report will be sent to higher authorities after we finalize it. Action against the forest staff would be taken based on the findings of the report,” Singh added.
