Chhaya Kadam, known for her roles in accalimed films such as Laapata Ladies and All We Imagine as Light, is in legal trouble. The actor has allegedly tasted meat of protected wild animals such as mouse deer and monitor lizard.
Forest department has launched a probe to nab the poachers who would have supplied the meat of the wild species to the actor. Chhaya is claimed to have also allegedly eaten wild boar and porcupine.
Talking to Free Press Journal, the investigative officer said, “We got in touch with Kadam over the phone, where she informed us that she is out of town for a professional trip and will return only after four days. She has informed her that she is seeking a legal advice and appearing before us for the investigation.”
Interestingly, the news broke out after Chhaya revealed eating meat of protected animals in an interview. Following her confession, Plant and Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), based in Mumbai, wrote to the Forest Department in Thane, mentioning the issue and seeking action against the actor.
