Photo of baby elephant on fire wins international award

According to reports, an image of a baby elephant and its mother fleeing a mob that flung flaming tar balls and crackers at them has won the top entry in the Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Awards 2017. Reportedly, the crowd attempted to ward off the elephants from human settlements. Biplab Hazra, a wildlife photographer from West Bengal who took the picture titled “Hell is here”, won the 2017 Sanctuary’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year award. Hazra had earlier reportedly said the two elephants “somehow survived” the brutal mob attack.
