The Indian Flying Fox (Pteropus medius/giganteus) was historically listed in the vermin category (Schedule V, now eligible for declaration under Sec-62) of the Wild Life (Protection) Act 1972, so Statement I is correct. It is a large fruit-bat that feeds on fruits/nectar and aids pollination; it does NOT suck blood, so Statement II is wrong. Hence only I is correct (option c).
