A microblogging platform user on Monday shared photos and videos of the exotic creatures including a snake and a cat on the social media platform stating that the night club/pub put up exotic wildlife for display on their premises and requested the police to initiate necessary action.

Police and forest officials began a probe into the issue after concerns were raised in this regard. The club management asserted that they had the necessary documents (of registration/license) with regard to these exotic animals, which were allegedly put up for display on Sunday.

”The inquiry is underway. Forest and police officials are verifying into the entire matter. They (management of the night club) have been told to produce the documents. We will examine and accordingly take further action,” a senior official of forest department told PTI.

Further investigations are on.
