As the plantation is situated on elevated terrain, the calf is suspected to have slipped and fallen while the herd was returning to the forest. It is also suspected that other elephants in the herd may have trampled the calf, resulting in its death.

The incident has caused concern among local residents. The exact cause of the calf’s death is yet to be established.
