Shanichara Bote lost his father Budhiram and mother Jharali on December 16, 2012, when a wild male elephant named Dhurbe trampled them to death near the Baruwa bazaar in the Madi area of Chitwan, Nepal, according to The Kathmandu Post.
After the attack, Shanichara reportedly sold his home, crossed two major rivers, the Reu and the Rapti, and relocated his family to the Jagatpur region, believing the distance would protect them from the same threat.
