The drama began when villagers discovered the elephant in distress, struggling to free itself from a metal enclosure.
The elephant, likely exploring its surroundings, had wandered into the fenced area and couldn’t escape—news of the trapped elephant spread quickly, prompting wildlife rescue teams to act swiftly.
