> Here's a gist of the TOI report....

Bhopal Rifle Club imposed a life ban on national shooter SAAD KHAN and his accomplice MOHAMMAD OWAIS a day after they were arrested from a village in Sehore district for poaching a peacock and a blackbuck.

They were remanded to two-day police custody on Wednesday. Confirming the ban, director of Bhopal Rifle Club, Aruneshwar Singhdeo told TOI, "State body cannot entertain such people. Our constitution is very clear as anyone involved in criminal activity cannot continue with the club."

They were caught by the people at Kathpon village while collecting donations for Holi celebrations when a villager spotted a rifle, the carcass of a blackbuck and a peacock. Angry villagers dragged the three out and beat them up.

Imported .22 and 270 caliber rifles, several cartridges and a binocular were confiscated from their jeep besides skinned peacock and a blackbuck. All have been booked under provisions of Wildlife Protection Act 1972 and Arms Act.

Khan's membership no L-81 and Owais's membership no A-49 have been deleted from members list of the club.

> These offenders have brought 'shame & disgrace' to all law abiding arms holders & lovers of nature conservation...
> No mercy should be shown to them, besides confiscating their arms they should be fined & imprisoned and banned for a lifetime from all memberships of rifle / shooting clubs.

Not necessarily Doc. But people like these should be banned from owning any kind of firearm for good. There should be a law on this. If I had my way I would have banned gun ownership even in the immediate family (spouse, parents and children) of a person caught poaching with a firearm if the family lives in the same city.

Have they been convicted? pled guilty?

If notthen they are innocent until proven guilty. and as such should not be judged.
