Elephant has been sighted “obtaining” from passengers on highway.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that an elephant was seen robbing passengers along the Grand trunk road in a video posted on the micro-blogging site, Twitter by an Indian Forest Service officer and IISC Bangalore alumnus, Parveen Kaswan.

The Grand Trunk Road previously known as Uttarapath, Sarak-e-Azam, Badshahi Sarak, Sarak-e-Sher Shah is one of Asia’s oldest and longest major roads. For at least 2,500 years, it has linked Central Asia to the Indian subcontinent.

In the 43 seconds video shared by the Indian Forest Service officer, the elephant stood on the middle of the road wait for vehicles and as soon as one approached, the elephant stretched his trunk into the vehicle, searching for what to steal but could get anything easily.

However, in an offer to rescue himself and the passengers from the elephant’s attack, the driver placed banana very close to the elephant’s trunk and the animal took it and vacated the vehicle.

Reacting to the development the Indian Forest Service officer wrote as the caption of his video: “Daylight robbery on a highway. A forward.”

He continued: “On a serious note this is why you see ‘Do not feed wild animals’ board near forest area. They become habitual of new taste. And keep coming to road & near human. This is not helpful to them in long run. Though possibly this is not related with this video.”
