The wanton act caused serious injuries to the ear of the straying 50-year-old elephant, leading to formation of pus and death.
Police on Saturday sealed the resort from where a burning tyre was hurled on a wild elephant that subsequently died in Nilgiris district, even as the resort owner is absconding.
Two persons have been arrested in connection with the death and remanded to 14 days judicial custody, the police said.
Two of the accused involved in killing the elephant in Nilgiris have been arrested by Tamilnadu Forest Department. The resort involved has been sealed. The elephant was fondly called ‘SI’ because it walked like a strict police officer & never harmed anyone. #Justice#SaveWildlifepic.twitter.com/WTiraYthG4 Praveen Angusamy, IFS (@PraveenIFShere) January 23, 2021
