    #29 Dacoit Ethics

    If you ever go to the Dudhwa National Park, you would be astounded by the forest of tall trees, open grasslands, marshes, gurgling rivers, elephants, rhinos and the very elusive tiger. Mr. M too travels to this place not in search of wildlife but to a bank branch deep inside the National Park area called Chandan Chowki. What he hears there is not a tale of a tiger but that of a dacoit with ethics. Please share this episode with a wildlife lover you know!
