“At least fourteen alleged members of a gang of rhinoceros poachers have been arrested in Nepal, officials say.
Those arrested include Buddhi Bahadur Praja, the alleged leader of a cross-border smuggling ring.
Police accuse Mr Praja of killing more than 12 rhinos in Nepal in the past six years. There has been no immediate comment from any of those arrested.
Researchers say rhinos are killed so their horns can be used in traditional medicines, despite no proven benefits.”
