A Forest Department personnel has arrested a person for poaching deer and seized deer meat weighing 14 kg from him at Metikuppe forest range, Nagarahole forest in Karnataka.
The arrested man is identified as Mohan, a resident of Hirehalli 'A' colony. Mohan's accomplices Mahadev, Prakash and Shivalingegowda, residents of the same colony, however, escaped.
