According to the information, the first case of elephant death was reported on February 1, when authorities recorded the death of a female elephant near Tetulipada village.Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Shashi Pal said that elephants are dying due to a bacterial infection. He said that it is believed that the water bodies in the forest have been infected. An official said the post-mortem report showed that a deceased female elephant was pregnant and died of septicemia.

The first two elephant test results for anthrax at the Veterinary College of Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) came back negative. However, the lab is still testing it.
