Not so long ago an atrocious incident took place wherein a pregnant elephant faced one of the most brutal forms of animal abuse as she ate a pineapple filled with firecrackers, allegedly placed by some locals. The fruit exploded in her mouth, leading to the inevitable tragedy and ultimately her death. Filmmaker Ritesh Sidhwani was infuriated by the incident.
Expressing his displeasure, Ritesh took to his twitter and posted a link that explained the incident with the following caption: "After enduring the most inhuman act she didn't harm a single human being or crush any home. She ran in searing pain through the village. Absolutely gutted! May her soul rest in peace & the perpetrators of this horrible crime be brought to justice immediately. [sic]"
