Elephant tusks worth Rs 2 crore stolen from high-security military camp in Kerala

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a startling breach of security, two massive and historically significant elephant tusks have been stolen from the highly secured Pangode military camp here in the heart of the state capital city, triggering alarm within defence and police circles.

The tusks, estimated to be worth around Rs 2 crore in the international market, were kept at the Officers’ Club inside the military premises.

The theft assumes serious proportions as it occurred within what is considered a tightly guarded defence installation.

The tusks, handed over to the Army by the then state government in 1929, had been preserved for nearly a century as part of the unit’s heritage collection.
