The Kanyakuchi RF is not clear because post mortem report is still not available. I have also visited the spot and observed that a herd of elephants could have been present there at the time of its death. We have not found any electric wire or other signs which may indicate that the elephant would have died due to electrocution. Till now I can only say that elephant has died due to natural cause," Kumar added.Kumar also refuted reports in a section of the media that parts of the carcass had been chopped off by miscreants.
