A week following the event involving a person severely injured by a bull shark in Vaitarna Creek, the Honorary Wildlife Warden (HWW) has claimed that the shark was agitated by individuals. The Warden has urged the forest department to launch an investigation and file charges accordingly.
The Warden, Vaishali Chavan alleged that the Bull Shark was provoked by some villagers on the day Hitesh Govari was injured. Chavan had written a letter to the forest department authorities in Palghar district demanding an investigation into the case as she felt that it was a case of animal cruelty too.
