The incident reportedly took place on October 12 in Shalbagan area near Lanka Town in Assam’s Hojai district, where a baby elephant was tortured by some mob.
The video of the incident shared on Twitter by @TheViditsharma called for help from Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sharma and animal activists.
The visuals show the baby elephant running for its life as a group of men chase it even as they try to pull its tail and beat it.
The baby elephant, mistreated by villagers, got separated from its mother when villagers drove away a herd, according to sources.
