Borders shared by India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, once a single country have become a death trap post 1947 partition. Humans aside, animals are facing the brunt too. Recently, an elephant lost its life after it was shot 34 times by the Bangladesh Border Guards (BBG) for 'illegally' crossing the border. In the latest incident, an elephant and her calf had to appear in a court in Assam this week, where a judge was asked to decide on their custody, NDTV reported. The judge had to make a brief field trip to the court's lawns to inspect the jumbo duo in Assam's remote Hailakandi district which borders Bangladesh.
