The operation led to the arrests of 72 people in which government officials, poachers, carvers, and ivory dealers of high level were involved. It was the largest case of poaching in India ever. The gang was involved in poaching for more than 10 years, and Operation Shikhar ran for three years in which they saw 50 elephants that were hunted down.
