The death of rogue elephant Krishna in Orang National Park drew severe criticism on adherence of the standard operating procedures (SoP) while tranquilizing the elephant.

“The elephant was in constant observation and good care and had started responding well to the Mahouts. The elephant had its normal intake of food and showed normal behaviour, and was also lightly fed at 4.00 AM and 5.00 AM,” it stated.

The team of veterinarians found that the tranquilized elephants had several injuries and festering wounds on the body and the underbelly.

The elephant carcass was buried at around 4 pm with due honours near the Training Centre as per the standard wildlife practices after the completion of the post-mortem examination.

“Viscera and blood samples were collected by the team of the doctors for further investigations,” said B.V. Sandeep, Divisional Forest officer, Mangaldai Wildlife Division.
