"Elephants who are one of the most important animals of Kerala... They are worshipped there, if they are being subjected to this then, it shows the true voice of humanity," Urvashi said.
"Today I am really sad because animals' lives matter and they kind of trust us, so it's truly heartbreaking. Every life matters. It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal, and let them live in peace as they too have lives. And the people who were involved in this horrifying crime should be punished," she added.
