An animal carer was accidentally crushed to death by an elephant after he whipped it so hard he lost his balance and fell underneath it in Kottayam district of Kerala in southern India.
The carer is seen trying to make the elephant lie down in order to clean its back, but the animal is reluctant.
He hits it with a stick, but as he does so, he slips and falls, just as the animal sits down.
The CCTV footage shows the elephant crushing the carer underneath him.
Another man who is off-camera is seen rushing into view and attempts to move the huge elephant, without luck.
Eventually he uses a huge stick to persuade the animal to stand up, and is then seen pulling the elephant carer from underneath its body.
But by this time it was too late, and the later examination confirmed Mr Panikkar had been killed instantly.
An investigation is being carried out into the tragedy involving the elephant, which was reportedly owned by a local hospital trust. (Daily Mail)
