The killing of a pregnant elephant in Kerala that ate a pineapple stuffed with explosives will be investigated by the central government, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said today.
There has been an outpouring of rage and grief after tragic visuals of the elephant, dead in a river, emerged in a forest officer's post earlier this week. .
Central Government has taken a very serious note of the killing of an elephant in Mallapuram, #Kerala.
It exploded in its mouth and in that state the elephant walked for days in pain before it went into a river and died standing on May 27.
