The veterinarian conducted an autopsy and declared that the elephant died after consuming a country-made bomb. Forest officials suspected the bomb should have been thrown there by a poacher or farmer who wanted to ward off elephants from entering fields. After conducting an investigation, they arrested Kalimuthu (43), a farmer of the area, they added. The carcass of the calf was buried in the same area.
