India’s top hunter from Hyderabad told on Saturday how he felled a rogue elephant which had killed 15 people in a series of attacks since March.
Nawab Shafat Ali Khan told AFP he shot the elephant late Friday just hours after being called in by authorities. Saturday was World Elephant Day.
Mr Khan said he shot the elephant at point-blank range, but before the animal fell it tried to swing its trunk at the hunting party, forcing him to fire a second time.
Experts say violent encounters between elephants and humans are increasing as forests are cleared for human settlements and industry.

We are “rogue “.. not the elephant
At least one elephant got even for a while.
It would seem a country with a billion can spare a few people once in a while…
So true.
