The brutal incident of animal abuse took place in Kerala’s Palakkad district, which resulted in the death of the elephant while standing in the river.

“Appalled to hear about what happened in Kerala. Let’s treat our animals with love and bring an end to these cowardly acts,” Kohli said in a tweet from his Twitter handle.

Meanwhile animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as she questioned his silence over the issue.

The pachyderm in Kerala’s Silent Valley Forest fell victim to an act of human cruelty after the pineapple offered by a man exploded in her mouth when she chomped on it, a senior forest officer said. Her jaw was broken and she was unable to eat after she chewed the pineapple and it exploded in her mouth.

Officer Surendrakumar said the elephant died at Velliyar River in Malappuram district on May 27. He said the post-mortem revealed that the pachyderm was pregnant.

“Rahul Gandhi is from that area, why has he not taken action?” questioned Maneka Gandhi on Wednesday.

The Congress scion represents the constituency of Wayanad, which is adjoining the district of Malappuram.
Demanding the removal of the state forest secretary and the resignation of the forest minister, Maneka targeted the state government over the incident. “It’s a murder. Malappuram is famous for such incidents. It’s India’s most violent district.”
