The two Czechs, Emil Kucera, 52, and Petr Svacha, 51, were detained close to the Singalila National Park, the Bangla state, on June 23 because they did not have any official permit to collect insects. Since then they have been in custody in Darjeeling. They face two to seven years in prison under Indian law, if convicted. Kmonicek said neither of them had to pay any sum.
