An elephant attacked a 70 year old women who was later confirmed as dead at the hospital due to the injuries sustained. Later the same elephant returned to the dead’s funeral & attacked again.
Elephants are known for its gentle and humorous nature however certain incidents also tell how they can be cruel at times.
Though it seems impossible, Few says until and unless it is influenced by someone, this kind of incidents don’t happen with elephants.
The lady was identified as Maya Murmu when attacked by the elephant at Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district as the elephant lost its way from Dalma wildlife sanctuary.
Maya murmur was rushed to hospital but she was unable to fight for life due to the injuries sustained after elephant attack.
During her funeral, the same elephant arrived and attacked, which threw her dead body before it left the funeral area. The funeral got delayed but was completed within the next few hours.
Mayurbhanj district was facing severe drought during 2022 due to which elephants have to search for alternate source for water and causing the elephant to enter the city.
Although first attack seems normal, the second attack is something out of possibility for the elephant’s kind and gentle nature.
Humans are no threat for elephants and elephants do not attack unless they think we are a threat to them or their small babies and this incident is totally contrast to what we generally see about elephants.
