As per reports, they also recorded the incident on their phones. The incident happened at the Sahydari Tiger Reserve near Gothane village in Maharashthra, Western India.
The lizard which was allegedly raped are known as Bengal monitor. These can grow to be about 16 pounds and five and a half feet long. Under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, they are currently classified as reserve species.
Only one of the accused was apprehended at first, while the others fled. The last three were eventually discovered in Hativ village in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district. The men travelled from Konkan to hunt in Kolhapur's Chandoli hamlet, according to officials.
Sandeep Tukram, Pawar Mangesh, Janardhan Kamtekar, and Akshay Sunil have been identified as the four hunters.
The case was brought before the Indian Penal Court to determine the appropriate legal action and charges to be brought against the four guys. Anyone who voluntarily engages in intercourse with an animal "must be punished with life imprisonment, and shall also be liable to fine," according to Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
It is not the first time that an animal has been raped in India; in February 2022, a female calf was brutally raped and killed. Incidents of sexual crime against females have been common in India, but in recent times, such incidents of animals being abused by people are also becoming highly rampant.In India- sex is considered a taboo, and people are not allowed to talk about it openly, which is a reason why such incidents are rapidly growing in the sub-continent.
