Dramatic moment just shifted rogue elephant returns to Indian village

Description Chinna Thambi, the rogue elephant which was recently translocated to deep forests, has returned to human habitat.

The elephant entered Angalakurichi village near Pollachi on January 31 creating a new headache for forest officials.

Though villagers managed to drive it away by bursting crackers, Chinna Thambi has opted to stay on the outskirts of the village.

The forest department department officials had earlier captured and shifted the rogue elephant to Varakaliyar forest near Topslip.

But in less than a week Chinna Thambi found his way back to a village about 30 kms away from where he was left.

The elephant, which earlier lived in the Thadagam reserve forest, had become notorious for raiding crops and even homes looking for food.

Fed up with menace, local villagers had gone on protest forcing the forest department to act.

In a dramatic day-long operation on January 25, Chinna Thambi was tranquilised, tied up with ropes and then shifted to his new home on a truck.

And in less than a week, he has returned to prove that old habits die hard.
