Violent elephant Dhurbe claims lives of a mother and son after 9 years

Few in Chitwan National Park might not have heard of the aggressive male wild elephant Dhurbe . That same violent elephant has now been confirmed to have killed a mother and son in Bharatpur Metropolitan City-23 in Chitwan.

After attacking the mother and son, Dhurbe fled toward the park’s Sukhibhar area. On Saturday night, while the family was at home, the elephant suddenly emerged from the jungle and killed 21-year-old Ashika Bote and her 4-year-old son Bharat Bote.
