No not another UK expenses scandal, but in India this time. A Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) attacked and threatened to kill the chief ranger of the Kaziranga National Park, who happens to be our IRF colleague "D.D".Boro. Two MLA's Jiten Gogoi and Kushal Deuri, had entered the park, a world heritage site and home to the endangered one-horned rhino, for fishing, which is prohibited there. When challenged, Gogoi had threatened to kill Chief Ranger Dharanidhar Boro with his AK-47 and assaulted park employees. Gogoi claimed he was a 'king' and would hunt animals as royalty has always done so. "I am known as the king of this area and I will behave like a king. Earlier, kings went hunting and I will also hunt animals," Gogoi told a local television channel. "Who are these forest people to complain against me? Are they bigger than me? We don't kill animals nowadays, but I think next time I will hunt inside the park to show them that I am a king". And we think we've got it tough?? The case continues........!!
