Elephant Found Dead With Injuries To Ear Trunk In Ramnagar

The elephant was found dead under mysterious circumstances on Wednesday.

The forest superintendent of the Sarpduli Range, R.K. Mishra, said they are yet to determine the cause of the death.

"Blood was oozing out from his ear and trunk, so definitely it is an injury. The cause of the injury would be known only after the post mortem report comes," said Mishra.

Forest officials said there were no other signs of injury on any other part of the body.

A 40-year-old elephant had died under mysterious circumstances in a farmland in the state a day earlier. Read the full report here.
