Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's younger son Tejas has added one more discovery to his name-a spectacular looking snakehead fish. The species, a type of Channa, was found in East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya and an American journal has published a scientific paper on it.
Tejas Thackeray, who has been involved in many other species, said the fish with a purple-blue glow was discovered by a Shillong-based freshwater enthusiast and former MMA fighter, Aristone M Ryndongsngi. It has been named after him, he said.
