A photo with the caption ; ‘there were many to wish a speedy recovery for Jacka, but there were only a few to wish a speedy recovery for the elephant’, is being circulated on social media.
During our fact check it was brought to our notice that the elephant in the photo was not the elephant that attacked Jackson Anthony’s vehicle.
However, it is a photo of an elephant injured as a result of a railway accident in Jalapaigur District in West Bengal back in 2019. The elephant had passed away thereafter.
As such the photo of the elephant said to have attacked and was subsequently injured during the incident is a photo of an elephant injured during a railway accident in India back in 2019.
