Daunting ... naked women are frightening Indian guards from arresting timber
thieves. INDIAN forest guards fighting timber thieves in the eastern state of
Jharkhand are being frightened off by women who start stripping and yelling for
help when their male accomplices are arrested, media reports said.
"It is proving tough to deal with these women. It has almost become a regular
practice for them to strip and we end up releasing the culprits to avoid
trouble," said B.K. Singh, a forest official in Jharkhand's Chakulia forest.
When forest guards arrested three men with timber, around 50 women suddenly
descended on them and started taking off their clothes while crying for help,
newspaper reports said.
The guards fled the spot fearing police action. "Such cases are being reported
from different parts of the state," said Manish Arvind, a divisional forest
officer in the state's Hazaribagh district.
But the guards are not stumped - they are planning to recruit women guards to
deal with the problem.
