In Jaipur, a gang planning a heist in Sikar district held a party on July 10, where Vijay Sen, visiting from Bangalore, died from a drug overdose after ingesting a dangerous mixture of smack and an anti-allergy drug. Gang members Mangal Singh, Narendra Singh alias Lomdi, Deepak alias Deepu Singh, and Nirmal Khatik alias Bholu did not seek medical help due to fear of arrest. Police discovered his body with foam and blood and arrested the four for involvement in his death and body disposal. Authorities confirmed the cause of death upon dispatch and discovery.
The sloth bear reintroduction in Sariska Tiger Reserve failed as SB-2, after traveling 240 km to Mandrayal in Karauli district, couldn't adapt. IUCN 'vulnerable' sloth bears, extinct for 100 years, faced failure due to selection from human-acclimated regions like Sirohi, Jalore, Mount Abu, and Sunda Mata. SB-1 and SB-3 faced issues; SB-3 threatened areas like Khairthal, Kishangarh, Bandikui, and Dausa. No reproduction was reported, with SB-2 separating from the female. Experts like Dinesh Durani emphasized improper selection. Officials and wildlife watchers saw experiments as futile, aiming to sustain the ecosystem, lacking food and water sources contributing to concerns.
