This incident is deeply concerning. It also brings to light how animals are still being used, abused, and harmed for human entertainment during festivals and celebrations. The wild animals are not meant to settle among humans. They need to be in their natural habitat to live normally. If they are taken away from forests and forced into human settlements, then chaos like Bihar’s Saran district is just what one can expect!
