People from various walks of life including animal rights activists staged a demonstration and held a candle light vigil on Sunday seeking “justice” for Arjuna.
The 64-year-old elephant was gored to death by a wild tusker during an operation near Yeslur in Sakleshpur taluk of Hassan district last Monday.
The activists assembled in front of the old Deputy commissioner office and raised slogans against the authorities. They were held responsible for the death of Arjuna who was a regular participant in Mysuru Dasara for more than 20 years besides having carried the golden howdah on 8 occasions.
