Forest department officials on Monday arrested three brothers in connection
with the death of a female elephant at Nakichua village under the Baripada
Forest Division.
The accused have been identified as Biru Hansada, Sangaray Hansada and
Tafan Hansada of Nakichua village.
Fearing an attack by wild elephants, three brothers allegedly decided to
protect their home by laying wires around it and connecting wires to the
power supply. Unfortunately, when a female elephant came into contact with
the live electric wire, it resulted in her death, according to the Forest
Department.
Going by the information provided by Rasogovindpur Ranger Ghanshyam Singh
and ACF Rabindra Kumar Mohanty, the Forest Department team from Bhubaneswar
and Similipal Divisional officials rushed to the spot and launched an
investigation after receiving information regarding female pachyderm’s
death. The investigating team conducted a thorough investigation and became
sure about the involvement of local villagers behind the killing of the
tusker after seizing GI wires near the spot where the elephant was found
dead.
Later, the team discovered that the elephant’s death was caused by the
electric fence installed by the three brothers. A special enforcement team
of the Forest Department carried out a raid and arrested three accused
brothers under the Wildlife Act and registered a case.
