Dhanya Rajendran Journalist. Editor-in-chief @thenewsminute shared the elephant’s Post Mortem report:
Elephant's postmortem report:
Immediate cause of death- Drowning.
Injuries in oral cavity, most likely due to an explosive blast in the mouth.
Could not eat or drink for nearly two weeks.
Severe debility and weakness in turn resulted in the final collapse in water.— Dhanya Rajendran (@dhanyarajendran) June 4, 2020
Speaking with Alt News, KK Sunil Kumar, Mannarkkad Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), said, “There is no evidence that pineapple was eaten by the elephant along with the explosives. She may have taken the explosive with any fruit, maybe pineapple. But this is an assumption. No such evidence was found in the postmortem.”
People on social media claimed that the persons arrested for the crime are Amzath Ali and Thamim Shaikh.
Sudarshan News shared an article with false claims about the arrest of two people named. Check the link below

Mallapuram is know for its intense criminal activity specially with regards to animals. No action has ever been taken against a single poacher or wildlife killer so they keep doing it.
I can only suggest that you call/email and ask for action pic.twitter.com/ii09qmb7xW— Maneka Sanjay Gandhi (@Manekagandhibjp) June 3, 2020
People on twitter corrected Menaka Gandhi regarding the place of the incident. Check the tweet below:
So 3 of Maneka Gandhi's lies now stand disproven:
1 Elephant death was in Palakkad not Malappuram
2 Malappuram isn't the most violent district by a long shot. Her own Sultanpur is much worse
3 Her claim of 600 elephant deaths in Kerala is falsehttps://t.co/SAKqHbF9r5— Aditya Menon (@AdityaMenon22) June 5, 2020
These Indians should be held criminally responsible and publicly shamed.
For goodness sake, who kills an elephant for pleasure?!? Feeding explosives to a majestic animal? What next? Killing Tigers by artillery shelling?https://t.co/2KBMxInOrq
