This is wonderful news. Some people must be celebrating. After all a double score. Also shows how wild elephants are so much better treated than temple elephants by big bad yindoos.
My first reaction was that since it was already known that "locals" offered the pineapple-bomb - they might face some court of law (which of course will be subject to nuance and context of provocations to the locals by the presence of the elephant).
But realized it was Malappuram. So high probability of the only unnamable identity. If the village in which the poor mother-to-be walked in peacefully in search of food is dominated by politically correct identity, I think it will be the elephant which will be found guilty.
I will silently wish for the joys the elephant enjoyed at the hands of her kind pineapple-bomb feeder be returned a thousand times on the feeders. Not in kind but in quality. Repeatedly to be enjoyed throughout their wonderful lives.
