Jaipur: Notorious wildlife poacher Sansar Chand died of cancer at a hospital here yesterday, a doctor said.

Resident of New Delhi, he is believed to be India’s biggest wildlife criminal who has been responsible for more tiger and leopard deaths than anyone else.
Sansar Chand was undergoing trial in connection with poaching of tigers at Sariska in Alwar district. “He was lodged in the Alwar Central Jail and was brought to SMS Hospital. Tumours were detected in his lungs, brain and spinal cord. The cancer was in the last stage,” the doctor said. IANS
