In Jhajjar, the police served a notice to Pataudi and six other accused, asking them to be present before the SHO. The notice directed the accused to make an appearance by 5 pm on Tuesday and co-operate in the investigations. With none of them turning up, the deadline was pushed forward by three days. ‘‘We have recovered Pataudi’s Gypsy and are trying to trace the Honda Accord used in the crime,’’ he added. The Jhajjar police had allowed Pataudi and his associates to leave after making just a Daily Diary Report entry on Friday night. They registered an FIR on Sunday. The Jhajjar police today produced Madan Singh, the only accused arrested so far, in a local court, which remanded him to judicial custody till June 13. ‘‘Madan Singh has confirmed the sequence of events of June 3 and has said that six people, including Pataudi, had come to his Aurangpur house that day. He then took them to the forest near Kirdod,’’ said Kaptan Singh, the investigating officer. He claimed that Madan has said that the accused drove in a Gypsy after parking their Honda Accord near a school building. The police said the bodies of the black buck and two rabbits were buried under the supervision of a three-member committee — comprising the Wildlife Inspector, Veterinary Surgeon and Tehsildar — in a burial ground close to the veterinary hospital at Jhajjar. The process was videographed. When The Indian Express visited Aurangpur today, angry villagers denied that their men were involved in poaching. ‘‘Ek aadmi Dilli se aaya karta tha aur mera bhai usey khet khalihan dikhaney le jaata tha. Mera bhai kabhi shikar nahin karta tha (A man used to come from Delhi and my brother used to take him to the fields and farms. My brother was never involved in poaching),’’ said Murari Lal, Madan’s elder brother. ‘‘Uss din bhi wohi aadmi aya tha aur merey bhai ko saath le gaya. Mujhe nahin pata ki Nawab unhe kahan mila (That day too, the same man took my brother. I don’t know where the Nawab (Pataudi) joined them),’’ said Lal. He denied that Pataudi had ever visited the village. Meanwhile, Pataudi woke up to the news of their Nawab’s alleged involvement in a poaching case only today. As the news spread, curious onlookers gathered outside the gates of Pataudi’s ancestral Ibrahim Palace. ‘‘It’s hard to believe but everyone knows that the Nawab was fond of hunting,’’ said Munshi Ram, who runs a shop outside the palace. ‘‘Earlier, there used to be forests around Pataudi. Now, the forests have disappeared and these people go for hunting elsewhere,’’ he added.
