The Hindu
He was released in Moolehole forests in Bandipur in June
Kusha, the elephant from Dubare camp released into the wild following intervention by animal rights activists, is back in Nagarahole.
He was released at Moolehole in Bandipur Tiger Reserve, a distance – as the crow flies - of about 100 km from Dubare in the first week of June after being radio collared to keep a track of his movement.
“His movement was being monitored by the Wildlife Institute of India at Dehradun on a real time basis and it has been confirmed that he is now in the Nagarahole National Park limits’’, said Mahesh Kumar, Director, Nagarahole National Park.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
