Police arrest 'sadhu' for selling animal parts

New Delhi, Apr 18 (UNI) Police have arrested a 60-year-old man for allegedly trying to sell animal parts, banned under the Wildlife Act, from Dilshad Garden area of North-East Delhi.

Preetam Singh was arrested from the Dilshad Garden flyover last night while he was selling nails of a lion and owls paw to a Peoples For Animals (PFA) activist, according to sources.
