Peacock is the national bird of India and is listed under Schedule-I of the Wildlife Protection Amendment Act, 2022, which means it is a protected species. Thus, a case has been registered against Kondam Pranay Kumar, and the forest department has started an investigation.&nbsp;

In a statement to the press, Forest Range Officer (FRO), R. Kalpana Devi said that Pranay was immediately taken into custody after receiving the information.

The FRO said they inspected the place where the curry was cooked and seized the dish.&nbsp;

She said that even naming the national bird for likes or otherwise in such a manner was an offence.&nbsp;

"Naming a peacock is also an offence. We will send the curry to the lab for testing and after the report, we will take action."

She added that any act that directly or indirectly promotes killing wildlife is subject to penal action. The case has now been referred to the police for further action, and the further action would depend on the forensic test of the curry.
