According to him, some people had placed firecrackers inside a pineapple and this was eaten by the wild elephant and in the process of chewing the cracker burst and injured the elephant.
"We summoned a veterinarian and later on the 25th an elephant expert David Abraham came and examined and explained to us the bad situation," said Pachuau.
Abraham told IANS that from his examination it looked like a two week wound and there were worms in the wound.
"We informed the Forest officials that the prognosis was bad and two days later the elephant died in a sitting posture in the water.
Soon after the autopsy was conducted, the dead elephant was buried in the forest.
"Two sets of teams are probing this incident," added Pachuau.
Even though there have been reports of man-animal conflict in the forest areas, where wild animals destroy crops of farmers, this episode has left many deeply saddened.
