Elephant murdered trapped under a mud pit after escaping from the truck

The 42-year-old elephant escaped from the truck and went crazy to smash it before getting stuck in mud for 18 hours.

Mullackal Balakrishnan named elephant is a pet in the temple of Alappuzha Mullackal Rajarajeswari managed by the Travancore Devaswom council in India. The animal was transported to the temple after the 7-day Thiruvonam festival, but fled the truck in the morning of September 5 when the driver stopped the car to drink tea, according to the Indian Express.

The rescue team teamed up with the trapped elephant. (Video: Newsflare).

The elephant dragged the chain causing much damage on the 6.4km long road. It ruined an auto rickshaw, an electric pole and walls of several houses. Finally, the animal fell into a mud pit and was trapped there.

More than 30 statues were mobilized to pull the elephant up from the mud after 18 hours of stuck. The veterinarian infused the elephant during the rescue to save its life and use more resuscitation after the elephant was rescued.

According to VK Venkitachalam, the head of the animal rescue force, the elephant was not able to get enough sleep and eat well during the festival as well as not being properly transported.

"The lack of food, water and sleep deprivation caused the elephant to heat up and break the barrier behind the truck. As soon as it got stuck, it quickly became exhausted. It survived thanks to the amount of protein transmitted by the vet The muddy muddy water may have spilled into it, making the problem worse , " Venkitachalam said.

More than 30 statues were mobilized to pull the elephant up from the mud after 18 hours of stuck.

Indian officials believe that using the elephant to participate in the march for many days at the festival is a mistake and violates the law. " The elephant once killed more than 5 statues and a female worker in the temple. It also lost sight in one eye. The law stipulates that such elephants should not be allowed to participate in parades. When giving elephants joining the procession, the district government and the forestry agency did contrary to the regulations " , Venkitchalam said.
