NEW DELHI - Indian police have arrested a plantation worker and are hunting two others after a pregnant elephant died after eating fruit laced with explosives, officials said on Saturday , in a case that shocked the country.
P. Wilson was arrested on Friday after he allegedly placed fruits filled with explosives to keep creatures - mainly wild boar - away from his rubber plantation. Forest officials said the explosion caused severe damage to its mouth, leaving the creature unable to eat or drink for days. If convicted, the men could face up to seven years in jail for killing an elephant, a protected animal under Indian wildlife laws.
