Jadeja in troubled waters after visit to Gir National Park

Ravindra Jadeja has landed in troubled waters after his trip to the Gir National Park and Sanctuary (GNPS). The all-rounder, during his safari ride, got down from the jeep and clicked pictures with the lions in the background. The forest officials had warned tourists against clicking selfies for safety reasons.
"Gir National Park and Sanctuary is a protected forest, and tourists are not allowed to get down from vehicles while inside the jungle," Aniruddh Pratap Singh, the chief conservator of forests (CCF) of Junagadh wildlife circle, told The Indian Express on Friday (June 17)."But, pictures showing the cricketer having got down from vehicle in the jungle and having taken selfies with lions are circulating on the social media."
"Even some forest guards are seen with him in photographs. Therefore, we have ordered the GNPS superintendent to conduct an inquiry into the incident and file a report."
Ram Ratan Nala, the GNPS superintendent, confirmed that Jadeja had committed an offence. "We have come to know that Jadeja got down from vehicle and took selfies with lions," he said. "Two range forest officers also happened to be in that part of the jungle at that time.
"We are looking into the incident and it is difficult at this juncture to tell what offence is made out against him. But, merely getting down in the sanctuary is an offence."
