An elephant, named after slain terrorist Osama bin Laden, that killed five villagers in Assam's Goalpara district has been caught after a massive operation to hunt down the creature, according to NDTV.
Wildlife officers tracked the pachyderm -- dubbed "Laden" by the locals it menaced in Assam -- through a forest for several days using drones and domesticated elephants.
The animal had killed five people, including three women, during a 24-hour rampage through the district in October.
Officials said they would take the elephant's welfare into account as well as the safety of people living nearby in deciding where it would be relocated.
