"Sir" Ravindra Jadeja's (current Indian all rounder) penchant for posting selfies with endangered and protected wild life species on various social networking sites has certainly succeeded in landing him in a potentially perilous position........
Jadeja who was on a two day sojourn to Gujarat's iconic Gir wildlife sanctuary (one of the remaining few habitats of the endangered Asiatic lions) earlier this week is currently facing the twin prospects of hefty fine and a prospective jail sentence if found guilty of contravening existing wild life laws pertaining to clicking selfies in a wild life sanctuary.........
According to the chief forest conservator A.P. Singh; prima facie Jadeja seems to have contravened and violated existing rules and regulations pertaining to disembarking from a forest department or then privately owned vehicle during the course of a safari and clicking selfies with an endangered feline species as numerous boards have been put up throughout the length and breadth of this world famous sanctuary.........
A departmental enquiry and thorough probe has been ordered after taking due cognisance of the numerous photographs posted by Jadeja on the social networking site "Instagram" entitled "family photo; having the time of my life in Sasan (Gir)" in which Jadeja can be seen vicariously posing with a pride of lions in the background sometime on Friday afternoon.........
It would be presumptive and premature to comment about either the quantum of the fine or jail time the maverick Indian cricketer faces as the enquiry against him is still ongoing and the same can only be determined upon the due completion of the same; Singh signs off........
One only hopes and prays that the law does indeed take it's own course and comes down like the proverbial tonne of bricks on this foolhardy and juvenile cricketer so that he and others of his ilk realise the fact that laid down rules and regulations about conducting oneself in a protected wildlife sanctuary are not something to be trifled with and can end up causing you untold misery and shame if you contravene the same knowingly and with scant regard for the same.........
