river Velliyar after suffering an injury in its lower jaw. The elephant
was spotted roaming around in the private area of the forest on 23rd
May. And the police said,” When one of our

lower jaw area was exposed. Later, for at least 24 hours the animal was trying

The vet doctor planned to take the elephant out of the river but before they
could, the elephant collapsed. Two doctors will carry out the post-mortem after
