India rescues 5 orangutans in Odisha, probes wildlife smuggling ring

Five juvenile orangutans, a species not native to India, were discovered in an Odisha forest, indicating a likely international wildlife trafficking operation. The incident highlights India's role as a transit hub for illegal wildlife trade, though the origin and intended destination remain unconfirmed. The separate BAPS-Eiffel Tower statement is unrelated and does not affect this development.
