Officials from the Delhi Department of Forestry and Wildlife said the horns appeared to belong to a local bull species. They will be sent to the Forest Research Institute for study.

It is clarified that the foreigner was not allowed to fly from the country to her homeland. She will have to appear in court as part of an investigation into a violation of the Wildlife Protection Act. “In order to carry wildlife products in luggage, special documents are required, which she did not have,” an airport employee explained on condition of anonymity.

In December 2023, a tourist from China tried to export sperm whale tusks and mammoth tusks from Russia and was detained by customs officers. He said that he was taking goods across the border at the request of a friend.
