A theft took place in December last year when thieves scaled the boundary wall.
The thieves tied the watchman and took away three precious birds. They slaughtered one of the birds while the other two were reported to have been sold.The police registered the case and arrested the accused with the help of sniffer dogs. The feathers of the slaughtered bird were also found in the house of the accused. The accused was later released on bail while the case is still in the court of law.
