NEW DELHI: Several people got injured after an elephant ran uncontrollably and turned violent during the BP Angadi ‘Nercha’ at Tirur in Malappuram, Kerala.
In a video, one of the four elephants could be seen turning violent and even picked one man through its trunk, harshly swinging and then threw him to other side.
People at that event running in panic, aimlessly, here and there to survive from that situation.
This incident happened at the Puthiyangadi annual ‘Nercha’ which is an annual feast celebrated at the Pattambi Mosque in the Palakkad district of Kerala. This grand event, held in memory of Aloor Valiya Pookunjikoya Thangal, a revered Muslim saint from the Malabar region, transforms the entire town of Pattambi into a vibrant spectacle of colors, lights, and sounds.
The festival is a significant cultural and religious event that draws thousands of devotees and visitors from various parts of the state.
