UP farmer Muhammad Arif met the bird Tuesday, 3 weeks after state forest officials took it away. Videos of the meeting show the crane in quarantine inside a cage within an enclosure.
Arif visited Kanpur’s Allen Forest Zoo for his reunion with the bird and was accompanied by his latest well-wisher, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav.
The story of Amethi man Arif, booked for keeping a sarus crane, has sparked debate. Sarus experts say situation is ‘unprecedented’, but how it is handled from now is critical.
The sarus crane was taken from Muhammad Arif after their videos went viral last month. Arif says he found the bird injured last year & nursed it to health.
About a year ago, the bird was badly injured in the fields in which Arif was working. With no prior knowledge, he took care of it and now it follows him everywhere.
