Dubai: Two UAE nationals arrested last week in India for smuggling an endangered primate have been released on bail on the condition they do not leave the country.
Next week the pair will appear in front of two different courts in New Delhi, the Indian capital. The 17-year-old is expected to appear in front of the Juvenile Justice Board on September 25, while his cousin, who is 30, is to have his case heard at the Tis Hazari district court two days later.
“The condition is that they will not leave India without the permission of the respective court,” said an official at India’s Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, which has charged the men with possession of an endangered species.
The men were arrested by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in New Delhi’s international airport when they were trying to board a flight to Dubai.
They were transferring in India on a Jet Airways flight from Bangkok when officials discovered a rare species of loris hidden in the undergarments of one of the men. A second animal was discovered later in a bin at the airport.
