A former top-100 pro golfer was arrested Wednesday for poaching and unauthorized entry in a forest area in India.
The Agence France-Presse reported that Jyoti Randhawa, a 46-year-old who was ranked in the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking as recently as 2009, and companion Mahesh Virajdar killed a red junglefowl at Dudhwa Tiger Reserve in Uttar Pradesh state.
"They have been sent to jail and further legal action is being taken," Ramesh Pandey, the reserve's field director, told the AFP.
Randhawa has won six times on the Asian Tour, most recently in 2009, and once on the Japan Tour.
