The Centre has taken a serious note of the killing of an elephant in Kerala, saying the culprits will not be spared.

“The Central Government has taken a very serious note of the killing of an elephant in Mallapuram, Kerala. We will not leave any stone unturned to investigate properly and nab the culprit(s). This is not an Indian culture to feed fire crackers and kill,” said Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar.

 A pregnant elephant died in Kerala’s Palakkad district, standing in a river, according to reports. She had eaten a pineapple stuffed with crackers, allegedly placed by some locals. The death of the elephant and the trauma she went through has caused a huge outrage, with calls for strong action against the culprits.
