The article explained that the elephant was being taken to a Hindu temple for a festival. At one point, the enraged elephant broke free from its chains and began wreaking havoc. This continued for about two hours. Throughout this time, police and local residents attempted to calm it down, The Sun reported. The resulting panic and chaos resulted in the death of 40-year-old Vishnu, who had brought the animal to the temple. Another person was injured and hospitalized. The elephant was tranquilized and tied to a tree near the temple. Cases of elephant aggression toward people have been reported worldwide. In March, a Namibian woman was attacked by an elephant while attempting to take a selfie with what she thought was a dead animal. She approached the elephant and tugged its tail while taking the photo. The animal stood up and attacked the woman. The victim died instantly. In September 2025, a female elephant capsized a canoe carrying tourists in Botswana after they got too close to her calves. Another elephant-on-human attack occurred in southwest India. The tourist was attempting to take a photo with the elephant. The elephant reacted to a bright flash, chased the man, knocked him down, and then stomped on him several times. |
