New Delhi:

The trailer of Poacher is out and it is chilling. The investigative crime series, produced by Alia Bhatt, is based on true events and it explores the issue of ivory poaching in India. The trailer begins with an elephant being shot, which leads to an in-depth investigation of elephant poaching in Kerala. The film is inspired by true events. Once a tight team of forest officers, NGO workers, police constables is put together, the investigation begins and it exposes the many cold blooded murders. There is so much more to this case than what just meets the eye – it is an “international matter.” The team investigating the racket realises that the case is not just punctuated with poaching but other crimes too. Will these voiceless creatures find justice? Will the poacher be exposed? All these questions will be answered when the series releases on February 23 on Prime Video India.
