Following the death of a large number of ornamental fish on Saturday in a pond at Jialing Park in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, which garnered public attention in recent days, local police notified on Monday that a suspect has been criminally detained for dumping pesticide into the water due to dissatisfaction with an operator in the park whose business is more profitable than the suspect's.

According to a release by police at Jiangbei District Branch of Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau on Monday, a 48-year-old man surnamed Li was found to be responsible for the incident, who is an operator of a recreational project at the park.

After investigation, police discovered that the other operator of the ornamental fish pond had launched a similar amusement project in the park that was more profitable than Li's. Out of dissatisfaction, Li dumped leftover vegetable pesticide from his home into the fish pond on Saturday, leading to the death of a large number of ornamental fish.
Li has been criminally detained in line with legal procedures, and the case is under further investigation, according to the release.
