Radio-collared wild elephant captured from Mananthavady in Kerala dies at Bandipur in Karnataka

The animal was captured after tranquillising it. It was then relocated to the Bandipur forest around 10.30 p.m. on Friday in a wildlife ambulance.

Kerala Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran told the media that the incident was “shocking.” An expert committee would be constituted to probe the issue, he said.

A necropsy of the animal would be performed jointly by veterinary teams from Kerala and Karnataka, said Mr. Saseendran.
