Forensic testing confirms that rapper Vedan, also known as Hirandas Murali, possessed a genuine leopard tooth pendant that forest officials seized. According to officials, the pendant is sent to the Central Forensic Laboratory in Kolkata to verify whether the tooth is original, and the lab reports that it is genuine. The findings are communicated to the relevant authorities and the results are submitted to court, as reported by both outlets. The developments occur in the context of Vedan’s prior arrest for ganja possession, and the leopard-tooth seizure leads to a case booked under the Wildlife Protection Act. The reporting also notes that the incident sparked administrative action involving forest officials: a forest range officer’s transfer is described as controversial and is later overturned by a tribunal. Together, the sources indicate that the core forensic outcome is consistent—testing supports that the tooth is authentic—forming the basis for the wildlife-related case proceedings.
