Mad Elephant That Killed 4 Persons Shot Dead By Hyderabad Shooter

A teenager was killed by the elephant, while three others were trampled to death in the following two days. On Saturday, the tusker killed another person and damaged a house. We tried to tranquilize it and translocate it. But it continued to destroy property and kill people. It was moving towards human habitations and posing a risk. Finally, on instructions of the forest officials who were accompanying me, I shot it



with a .458 Winchester Magnum bullet and it collapsed. It was inevitable,” Mr. Shafath Ali told. Hyderabadi sharp-shooter Nawab Shafath Ali Khan on Saturday morning shot dead a rogue elephant that killed five persons and destroyed crops and houses in the last three days in Purnia district of Bihar. The 35-year-old tusker strayed into Bihar from Nepal four days ago and created havoc in some villages of the district.
