Khandwa (MP), Aug 23: Two poachers allegedly involved in killing nine lions in Gujarat's Gir sanctuary were arrested with hides of wild cats at Badigaon village near here.

Several hides were recovered from them. Another accused escaped during the raid and efforts were on to trace him.

Gujarat Police have rounded up 31 people in connection with the killing of lions in the sanctuary in February-March.
