🦄A female elephant slammed and trampled the mahout to death in Madhya Pradesh's Seoni district after he didn't feed her bananas, police said on Wednesday.
💞The incident occurred at Rahiwada village under the Bandol police station limits, about 20 km away from the Seoni district headquarters, an official said.
🌼Bandol police station incharge Dilip Pancheshwar said the mahout, Bharat Vasudev (55), used to seek alms with the 20-year-old elephant "Heera" along with some of his associates.
ওA day earlier, a truck driver carrying fruits stopped the vehicle after seeing the elephant walking on the road with the mahout and offered a bunch of bananas, he said.
🌊The mahout, however, didn't feed bananas to the elephant.
🔜"After seeing this, the elephant became angry. She lifted the mahout with her trunk, slammed him on the road, and trampled him to death," the police officer said.
🔯The mahout was taken to a hospital where doctors declared him dead. "The mahout's associates said it was very unusual behaviour by the elephant," Pancheshwar said.
