He is the world’s top tiger poacher. Bengal tiger poaching is probably the single biggest reason for the gradual extinction of the Bengal tiger. The Bengal tiger is the tiger because the other tiger subspecies are on their last legs. If a tiger subspecies can survive it is the Bengal tiger but….not like this.
Because of a legal technicality, the courts released the world’s most notorious Bengal tiger poacher. They say he has killed hundreds of big cats. Him and his family. He wiped out the entire tiger population of one tiger reserve – the Sariska National Park of Rajasthan in India. Amazing but true. One day the park management woke up and found that there were no tigers in their tiger reserve. This man killed them all. I have to presume that he sold the carcasses to the Asian medicine market which is big business.
His name: Sansar Chand – please remember it and petition against him. Hound him. Make him miserable.
This video explains it all (please be patient with the adverts and wait for the news report):
Rudolph Furtado, a respected PoCer living in Mumbai, India (so he has first hand news information) made this comment:
Just a few days back Mr Sansar Chand, India’s most notorious tiger poacher was acquitted by a court and will be a “FREE MAN”. Sansar Chand is solely responsible for the total extinction of tigers in the “Sariska National Park” of Rajasthan in India. If such a notorious man escapes justice then what message does this send to “Petty poachers”?
Every Indian poacher would take a pot-shot at a tiger as they realize that the punishment even if caught would never amount to a death sentence or a life-long prison term. Besides poaching, forests are diminishing at a rapid rate and i wonder as to how long can small populations of wild tigers be confined to a national park where “INBREEDING” would be the final nail in the coffin
I can’t really add much more. To a tiger poacher, India’s tiger reserves are like a shop full of expensive gold and diamond jewellery. All the tigers (not many) are in a confined area and each dead tiger is worth a small fortune to a poacher on the Asian medicine market. You break into the reserve (the “shop”) and grab what you can get. All you have to do is find the tigers and I suspect that they get the assistance of park wardens who are bribed. There is so much money in the market that even the most loyal park warden will be tempted.
We must not forget the leopard. The leopard is terribly abused and mercilessly poached. The leopard is one of the big cats. They are beautiful. It makes me feel sad.
I just feel very very sad and I cannot understand why this man would want to kill tigers to extinction. He is making a fortune but what will he do when the tiger becomes extinct? Start killing other animals? He is dangerous and greedy beyond belief he is capable of wiping out entire species.
I will not be saving my monies to purchase my Savannah kittens from you know who. I will be saving to fly to India to put this inhuman man down.
Good girl. You go after him. Let’s put him with a Bengal tiger in a cage and let the tiger have payback. That would be fair.
I really don’t thin you were speaking figuratively, Michael. Let’s do that. I’m all for it. That Tiger would take one sniff at him, and say to her/him self, I am just doing to pull out your teeth by way of my majestic paw, and then I will lop off your head, leaving it for other poor animals to eat. I want nothing to do with you!
Somebody should end this man’s life. The problem is that in India people see the tiger as a bad (dangerous) thing and are happy to get rid of it so poachers don’t have much opposition when it comes to public opinion. Just my 2 cents.
Yes, the tiger is a nuisance to citizens and as for politicians anything goes. Bottom line : the Indian government are just not concerned enough. They never have been. Weak policies. Weak enforcement. Corruption. Inadequate management. Inadequate funding. Poor planning. You name it.
Note: I am British and there is corruption in the British government too so please don’t think I am being unfair.

Michael, excellent detailed coverage of the tiger poacher, very educative.I feel sad of the day when all big dangerous wild-life would just be confined to zoological parks of the World.Would future generations be happy of just visiting a large artificial zoological park and return home happy at viewing enclosed and captive “Big Cats” and other large animals? Will the National parks of the future be populated with just small herbivores and carnivores, the “Big Species” becoming totally extinct in forests? Elephants, the largest herbivores in Indian forests regularly come into conflict with villagers and occasionally meet with rail accidents while crossing tracks .Wild-life in its natural environment is in danger all over the world as the human population grows and hence forest habitat decreases.
