In a three-day operation, the Forest Department personnel used a drone to track the movements of the wild elephant and captured it in the forest area near Mandekar on February 23 and shifted it to Nagarahole Mattigodu elephant camp along with two elephants.
The remaining three elephants were resting in the Forest Department premises in Nettana. But on Sunday February 26 night, the three elephants which were in Nettana were also taken away.
The villagers have raised objections to this saying that what if wild elephants reattack them.
