According to the report, an elephant died in Masinagudi in Tamil Nadu’s Nilgiri district after staff of a resort set it on fire inadvertently. The elephant, which had strayed into human habitat, was being chased away by people at the resort. One of them threw a burning tyre to scare the elephant away, but the tyre got stuck to its ear. In the video, elephant can be seen fleeing the spot and trumpeting in pain. The elephant had sustained severe injuries to its left ear, left side of its head, left front leg and trunk.
Forest department officials found the injured elephant earlier this week. On Tuesday, the officials made transport arrangement to take the elephant animal way for treatment, but it died on the way. Two people – Raymond, the owner of the resort and Prashant, a staffer – have been arrested by the forest officials. Another accused, Ricky Rayan, is yet to be arrested.
