The police with the duo held for possession of the (below) skin

If the police don't co-ordinate with the Forest Department to identify seized body parts including the skin of wild animals, there is a chance they may spread misinformation. On Monday, the Vitthalwadi police issued a press note, saying they had arrested two people with a tiger skin in their possession. However, the skin is believed to be of some other animal which was painted with stripes, to dupe the customer. The Forest Department will send the skin to a forensic lab for confirmation.
