According to Wakro PS sources, Ranger KWLS Avard Singh Rawat and his team detained the poachers  from the dense jungles on July 1 and handed them over to police. Among the arrested Jetes Lisu (24) Timuk Hai Lisu (40) are Myanmar nationals and  Ngualisa Yobin (16) Ngasabo Yobin (24) and Ngwadini Lisu (25) are from Vijaynagar in Changlang district.  Over 50 kg of Mishmi Takin meat, Wild Paris Phyllia (Katchu), ten live cartridges, five fired empty cartridges, twenty-five  bird traps, cell phone,  one Myanmar made  improvised rifle were also seized from their possession.  

The two Myanmarese were later brought to the Superintendent of Police office for interrogation.

We booked them under Foreigner's Act and law will take its own course to repatriate them”, informed  SP Lohit DW Thungon.
