A man was arrested by Wildlife Crime Control Wing on Thursday night while he was trying to sell deer musk worth Rs 16 crore
in Kochi, Kerala.

Deer musk, extracted by killing endangered musk deer, is a substance with a persistent odor. Musk deer normally spotted in Kashmir valley in India.
Musk is obtained from a gland of the male musk deer situated in its back/rectal area. The substance has been extensively used as a perfume fixative, incense material, and medicine, since ancient times. It was and still is one of the most expensive animal products in the world.
Last year online trading of deer musk had been busted by a secret operation of forest officials of Tiruppattur division in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu.
