One more baby crocodile out of 18 that went missing on November 22 was found in a canal passing by Karamjol Crocodile Breeding Centre at Dakop upazila of Khulna district.
With this, a total of four crocodiles were recovered from the canal after they went missing.
The staff of the centre caught the crocodiles and kept back in a cage, said Divisional Forest Officer Mihir Kumar of east wing of Sundarban Forest Division.
Assistant Conservator of Forests Golam Quddus Bhuiyan was asked to conduct a probe into the incident and submit a report on his findings but he failed to submit the report on Monday. The ACF needs a few more days to unravel the mysteries of the incident, the DFO said.
However, the DFO did not mention the reason for the delay.
Earlier, three crocodiles were found on November 26 in the canal.
The DFO alleged all 18 crocodiles were released in the canal taking advantage of negligence of the staff in the breeding centre.
A section of forest guards said the centre remains unguarded most of the time of the day, as the presence of the stuff is very irregular.
