A rogue elephant named after the late Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has died in captivity a week after he was captured following a massive hunt through northeastern India.<\/p>\n

The male animal – nicknamed ‘Laden’ – was tracked for days by forestry officers and tranquillised last Monday after a deadly rampage killed five villagers in Goalpara last month.<\/p>\n

It was moved to Assam’s Orang National Park where rangers planned to teach the elephant to patrol wildlife parks and sanctuaries in the state of Assam. <\/p>\n

But officials confirmed said ‘Laden’ died early this morning. The exact cause of death is unknown at this stage.<\/p>\n

A park ranger, who asked to remain anonymous, said: ‘The animal was behaving as normal. It was, however, kept with its legs tied so that it couldn’t escape.’<\/p>\n

The keeper reported the animal dead at roughly 5am local time today, he said.<\/p>\n

The cause of death was unclear, but a senior official said the state government had sent a team of veterinarians to carry out an autopsy.<\/p>\n

Before the creature’s death, the forestry department planned to tame it using ‘kraak’ – a controversial training regime used on younger elephants and condemned by wildlife conservationists as torture.<\/p>\n

The animal was unsuitable for captivity because it was believed to be about 35 years old, conservationists said.<\/p>\n

The rogue animal killed five people, including three women, during a 24-hour rampage through Goalpara district in October. <\/p>\n

Wildlife officials and rangers managed to track the beast through the Rongjuli forest before finally capturing it using drones and domesticated elephants. <\/p>\n

Nearly 2,300 people have been killed by elephants in India over the last five years, according to official figures released in June.<\/p>\n

But 700 of the creatures have been killed since 2011, officials said, partly as a result of shrinking natural habitats.<\/p>\n

They frequently migrate into Goalpara, resulting in high numbers of fatal encounters with humans because of rampant deforestation.<\/p>\n

Many have been poisoned or shot by locals, or died on electric fences and railways cutting through migration routes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
