Comments / pictures

A 55-year-old elephant is held captive in chains and shackels in the Panna Tiger Reserve after the elephant brutally killed its Mahout Budhram Rotiya on Monday, said an official.

Ever since its arrival at the Panna Tiger Reserve in 1993, 'Rambahadur', a wild elephant, was trained and looked after by Mahout Budhram Routia. In the two decades, 57-year-old Routia led the elephant on umpteen campaigns which involved formidable tasks like tranquilizing tigers and maintaining a vigil in the forests.

According to Uttam Sharma, elephant Ram Bahadur was brought to the reserve in 1993 from the forest of Chhattisgarh, aging approximately 26 years. Deceased Mahout Budhram was taking care of the elephant since then. This elephant has also twice fatally attacked the world's oldest elephant (not true), Vatsala.
