The Thane Crime Branch arrested three persons with rare Indian Pangolin on Thursday evening. The police immediately seized the Pangolin and took the three accused into the custody.

On Monday morning, Thane crime branch officials received a tip-off about people who were planning to sell the rare pangolin to someone and for that deal they were supposed to reach Saket Balkum around at 8.30 pm. Responding to a tip-off, Unit 1 of Thane Crime Branch laid a trap and caught the three men trying to sell a live Indian Pangolin for a very high price.
