NEW INVESTIGATION: WHO FACILITATED THE TRANSFER OF FIVE YOUNG ELEPHANTS FROM ASSAM TO TAMIL NADU
NEW INVESTIGATION: WHO REALLY FACILITATED THE TRANSFER OF FIVE YOUNG ELEPHANTS FROM ASSAM TO TAMIL NADU?
A major exclusive investigation by The News Minute raises serious questions about the origins, ownership and transfer of five young elephants sent from Assam to Tamil Nadu temples.
The investigative report, “How BJP helped ‘Judicial Krishnamoorthy’ get five elephants to Tamil Nadu”, examines the role of Seva Trust, government approvals in Assam and Tamil Nadu, and the circumstances surrounding the transfers of Durga, Rupsing, Shiva, Hiralal and Bijuli.
The investigation raises troubling questions:
Questionable documentation: Concerns over ownership certificates, microchip records and whether the elephants’ captive-born origins have been adequately established.
Unusually rapid approvals: The report details how Durga’s transfer approval was processed within hours of a temple inspection being ordered.
A gruelling journey: Five young elephants were transported thousands of kilometres from Assam to Tamil Nadu.
Questions of accountability: The circumstances in which a private trust obtained these elephants from Assam and facilitated their transfer to temples demand transparency and scrutiny.
These are not merely administrative questions. They concern the welfare of five young, sentient animals and the effectiveness of India's safeguards against illegal elephant capture and trafficking.
We urge the authorities in Assam and Tamil Nadu to ensure a thorough, independent investigation into the elephants’ origins, documentation, transfer approvals and transportation, and to take appropriate steps to protect their welfare.
