Watch Video: A pregnant wild elephant suffered a painful death as a result of consuming a fruit laced with explosives, an investigation launched

The elephant’s killing came to light on May 30 after Mohan Krishnan, a section forest officer in Mannarkkad in Palakkad district, wrote a heartfelt note on Facebook which quickly went viral. A pregnant wild elephant suffered a painful death as a result of consuming a fruit laced with explosives, an investigation launched by the forest officials in Kerala have not yielded any tangible results. The late discovery of the injury, at least two weeks old, on May 25 and the distance traversed by the elephant since the injury are proving to be challenges for the forest officials in solving the case and nabbing the culprits.
