The forest department, on Tuesday, announced a cash reward of Rs 25,000 for information on the individual responsible for the bow-and-arrow attacks on monkeys in Yeoor. Sources told mid-day that a key finding has emerged during the probe — the arrows recovered from the injured animal differ from those used in professional archery schools in the Yeoor area.

Officials from the Thane Forest Department (Territorial) said, “We visited three archery academies in Yeoor and attempted to match the arrows, but found no link. CCTV footage is being collected with police assistance to identify the individual responsible.”
