Thechikottukavu Ramachandran, reportedly the tallest domestic elephant
in India, has secured another record. The elephant could perhaps be the
first in the country to be charged with murder and released on bail.
Ramachandran, who stands 3.17m tall and fondly called Raman, was
released by the Perumbavoor first class judicial magistrate court in
Kerala last week in a case related to the death of three women after he
ran amok at a temple festival in Perumbavoor on January 27. The Malayattoor forest division had filed the case against the elephant, temple and devaswom authorities. Thechikottukavu peramangalathu devaswom, which owns 45-year-old Ramachandran, had to submit a bond of Rs 30 lakh, (£37,250, $55,500), and surety of two persons to secure his bail. The elephant was in the custody of forest officials after the attack. As per rules, an elephant should not be included for any parade for 15 days after such attacks.
