The rescued red sand boa and the accused

In less than a month, Crime Branch officials have rescued another red sand boa from sale. A 25-year-old had brought the snake in his backpack from Jogeshwari to Reay Road, to be sold on the occasion of Badi Raat. The snake is used by tantriks and Godmen for black magic. The Property Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch got a tip-off that a person was to bring the snake to sell at Reay Road. Crime Branch officials laid a trap near Reay Road railway station on Thursday around 11 pm.
