AHMEDABAD: Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja was let off by Gujarat forest department after he paid a fine of Rs 20,000 for taking a selfie with lions at the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary at Sasan in Junagadh, an act strictly prohibited by law. Since Jadeja is out of the country, his father-in-law Hardevsinh Solanki, a resident of Rajkot, gave the statement on behalf of Jadeja and paid the fine recently, said A P Singh, chief conservator of forests, Junagadh.
