Forest officers arrested a man and recovered several dozens of sea horse skeletons in Palakkad on Saturday.
Ezhil Satya Arasan, 43, of Chennai, was arrested by the Forest intelligence cell from KSRTC bus-stand premises in the morning on the basis of a tip-off.
Arasan was carrying 96 sea horse skeletons in a box. The Forest officers trapped Arasan after contacting him in the guise of buyers for the sea horse skeletons. They said the skeletons would fetch a huge price.
