A 22-year-old wild elephant that was captured in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore on Sunday died yesterday evening, just two days after it was trans-located to the Anamalai Reserve Forest.
The elephant died while it was kept in captivity. Authorities say he did not take food ever since he was captured.
Activists say an overdose of tranquilisers could have killed him.
The Madras High Court has now ordered a post mortem by a team of veterinarians appointed by the Animal Welfare Board of India after the body sought an independent investigation into the elephant's death.
