And never miss out on unique stories from 101India
Thousands of monitor lizards are getting killed
And we are not aware of it
There is no sexual dimorphism in monitor lizards
Once they know that it is a male
They put the monitor lizard on top of a fire
We are actually in the final stages of an operation
If all goes well, in the next hour
We will be done with the operation
What is this?
What are these items?
I don't know
What are you talking?
You are selling this in your shop
And you say you don't know what you are selling?
Madam has taken the key with her, sir
Go, open the door!
New Delhi, the capital of India
Is a notorious transit point for the illegal wildlife trade
In India and South Asia
101 India got exclusive access
To document one such operation
In the National Capital Region
We will be following
The Uttar Pradesh Forest Department team
And three undercover wildlife crime investigators
On their journey to arrest a suspect
Two of them are veterans in these kinds of covert operations
They have busted several illegal wildlife trades
Over the last two decades
The third, an undercover agent, is still a novice
This is her first operation as a decoy
And she has been dealing with the prime suspect
For over three months, trying to crack him
Her skills are going to be critical to the success or failure of this operation
This is a part of the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau's (WCCB) Operation Wildnet
Where we are looking at things sold online
A team of WCCB officers
And Wildlife Trust of India's team are investigating it
A year of research, information gathering and tracking later
The team has narrowed in on its target
Decoy: Yes, sir
'Astrologer': I spoke to them
'Astrologer': I can get you hatha jodi
'Astrologer': We have 25 pieces
Decoy: Okay
'Astrologer': You can transport this using your own shipping vendor
'Astrologer': If, by chance, the Customs department does an X-ray scan
We have a man on the inside
So our packages go through
'Astrologer': But since you are transporting it, just add some more 'sindoor'
So in the X-ray they will think these are religious items
Decoy: Sure, we will do it as you suggested
Decoy: Will this be a cash transaction?
'Astrologer': Yes
Decoy: Brilliant. Let's meet in the afternoon
Decoy: By morning, just let me know if you can also get 'siyal singhi'
Our decoy has negotiated a deal
With a self-proclaimed astrologer selling hatha jodis
They are to meet the next day for the drop-off
Thousands of monitor lizards are getting killed
And we are not aware of it
Thousands of them are getting killed because
Their penis is supposed to have magical powers
Monitor lizards are protected under Schedule I, Part II of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972
It is a highly protected reptile
Technically speaking, a monitor lizard is as protected as
A tiger, leopard or rhino in India
One of our informants picked up the information
That monitor lizards are killed for their 'organ'
It is sold in the market as hatha jodi
'Hatha jodi' literally translates to 'clasped hands'
Self-proclaimed astrologers
Sell hatha jodi as the sacred root of a plant
That brings health, wealth and happiness to their owners
Unsuspecting customers usually have no idea
That this is not a plant
But the sex organ of an endangered species
There is no sexual dimorphism in monitor lizards
Males and females look the same
They have a hemipenis, which is inside the tail
The poachers have to use a probe
Or use their finger to find out
Whether it is a male or a female
Once they know that it is a male
They put the monitor lizard on top of a fire
And they burn the groin area
After burning, they arch it backwards
So the penis comes out
As the penis comes out, they chop it off and dry it
The dried penis is sold as hatha jodi
This is the actual truth of hatha jodi
There is no plant product
Monitor lizards are known to have been hunted for their meat and skin
But this trade is something much more insidious
Indiscriminate hunting could push this already endangered species
To the brink of extinction
And much of this war is being fought online
Where many such products are sold
This is a kind of modern day warfare on conservation
And cyberspace is the new battleground
When we looked online for hatha jodi
The results were very shocking
Shocking because a lot of big e-commerce websites had listed hatha jodi
Almost all the leading e-commerce websites had listed it
We found some listings that were up to ₹6,000 - ₹7,000 apiece
Getting delivered in the UK and US
'Astrologer': Everything is genuine
Decoy: Are they genuine, meaning are they animal products?
Decoy: Are you sure about that?
'Astrologer': Don't worry about it
'Astrologer': It is our guarantee that it is a genuine product
'Astrologer': We face problems only when dealing in genuine products
Undercover Officer 1: So, he knows what he is doing
Undercover Officer 1: It's not that he doesn't know of it
Undercover Officer 1: He is aware of the fact that it's difficult to deal in genuine hatha jodi
Undercover Officer 1: It is already 17:12
Undercover Officer 1: We have to position ourselves
Decoy: I guess we should leave
The latest update is that the suspect has already reached the meeting point
He has contacted our team
Saying that he has reached with the 'material'
He's asking where we are
Now the police and the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department team
Along with the WCCB officers are getting ready to nab him
Our decoy will be meeting them in the next 10 minutes
When an undercover operation is going on
It is always planned
There are certain rules
Which the criminals know
And the enforcement guys know
So they play the game with these unwritten rules
So this operation will also be played with those rules
Our decoy will be there
There will be somebody watching them
We are absolutely aware that they will be watching from other side also
So wait for that
Decoy: We went inside
The guy started showing us the products
It was hatha jodi
About 25 pieces
We were stalling for time
By checking the product
Saying, "This one is good"
Or, "This one's size is better…"
Undercover Officer 2: Those people who claim
That they can predict your future for the next 10 years
Don't even know that they will get arrested in the next 24 hours
And are going to be in serious trouble
Undercover Officer 1: Who are you people?
Uttar Pradesh Forest Officer: Stand up
Uttar Pradesh Forest Officer: Seize his mobile
Undercover Officer 1: What is this?
'Astrologer': I don't know what this is
Undercover Officer 1: Don't you know what this is? Is this yours?
Undercover Officer 1: Whose items are these?
'Astrologer': They are her items
Undercover Officer 1: What are you saying?
Undercover Officer 1: Escort her out
Undercover Officer 1: What are these items?
'Astrologer': I don't know
Undercover Officer 1: What are you saying?
Undercover Officer 1: You are selling them in your shop
Undercover Officer 1: And you say you don't know what it is?
'Astrologer': Can you please tell me what I have done wrong?
Uttar Pradesh Forest Officer: What are you storing here? What are these items?
'Astrologer': These are some items of witchcraft, which I don't know
Undercover Officer 1: Is this what you were selling? What are these?
'Astrologer': They are called hatha jodi
Undercover Officer 1: What is hatha jodi made of?
'Astrologer': It is a plant product
Undercover Officer 1: It is not a plant product. Don't act smart and pretend to be a saint
Undercover Officer 1: Seize all this
The self-proclaimed astrologer's cover is blown
But perhaps his staff is hiding more evidence
Staff Member: Madam has taken the key with her, sir
A little bit of prodding
Uttar Pradesh Forest Officer: Go, open the door!
Quickly revealed the scale of the business they are running
Both offline and online
Most of these guys sell products online
Because anonymity is maintained online
This is how our digital revolution is happening, cashless
Look at the efficiency of the system these days
A snake charmer who is hunting in the forest
Is getting an order because
Somebody sitting in the US is buying it online
Looks like we are pretty connected with the digital revolution
I think this should also be considered for how the digital revolution is helping
Decoy: They play with the superstitions of the people
"Aura machine, we will fix your love marriage, arranged marriage"
"Hatha jodi can do all this"
If hatha jodi is such a lucky charm, why didn't it work for him today?
He had so many with him
Look where he is now
Several banned wildlife items
Like hatha jodi, sea fans, seashells
And 'siyal singhi' are seized from the operation
Multiple bank accounts
And multiple identities of the so called astrologer
Are also seized
For me the success of this operation
Is the removal of the keyword 'hatha jodi' from e-commerce websites
Say within 7 days
If you search for hatha jodi online, you should not find it
The ongoing investigation since the arrest
Has been conducted off camera
The investigation continues to reveal shocking facts
The so called astrologer we caught
Allegedly has a big network of poachers and traders
And has allegedly been doing business internationally
Both offline and online
It was also revealed that the suspect was an ex-Customs inspector
We also need to go online for awareness
We need to tell people that it's bullshit
Hatha jodi is not the root of a plant, it's not a herb
It is the penis of a monitor lizard
Which is obtained by killing a Schedule 1 protected animal
It is a very serious crime
'Astrologers' like the one arrested haven't just been selling
Protected wild animal parts
But are in effect selling our national treasures
Part of our ecosystem
This operation, code-named Wildnet
Is probably the biggest illegal wildlife trade bust of recent times
Since Operation Wildnet
Most major e-commerce websites
In coordination with WCCB
Have taken down the listings of hatha jodi
This has dealt a big blow to the illegal trade of hatha jodi
Hopefully, a fatal one
