Pachidermul de aproximativ nouă luni a alunecat în puț pe timpul nopții de 8 spre 9 aprilie, după ce s-a rătăcit de turma sa. Un buldozer și cel puțin alți 10 salvatori, pompieri și pădurari, au acționat timp de mai multe ore pentru a reuși să tragă la suprafață animalul. În cele din urmă, s-a reușit eliberarea puiului de elefant, în uralele sătenilor. Ganesha, unul dintre cei mai cunoscuți zei din hinduism, este reprezentat ca fiind un om cu cap de elefant.
