Rescued turtles go missing from zoo [1]

Two turtles, rescued from a city market and gifted to the zoo by a teenager, have gone missing from their enclosure and the authorities have no clue how.

Asish Chowdhury, who appeared for the ISC from La Martiniere for Boys this year, bought the turtles for Rs 70 from a market off the EM Bypass and deposited them at the zoo in end-2007.
