Rare friendship ends with a case, sarus brought to Kanpur zoo

The curious case of a rare friendship between a sarus crane and a man, Arif from Amethi, ended with a case registered against him under the Wildlife Protection Act. Meanwhile, the bird was brought to the Kanpur Zoological Park, also known as Allen Forest Zoo, where it will be quarantined for a fortnight. Till now, the forest department had kept the bird at Samaspur bird sanctuary in Rae Bareli, but the bird had flown away from there before it was spotted by villagers in Bisaiyya from where the forest officials brought it back.
