Ari main weakness, name Arasiraja
Rice is the main ‘weakness’ of Arasiraja, the cat that shook Sultanbatheri. It is because of this paranoia that the name has fallen. According to the forest department, “Arasiraja” has attacked around 100 houses in Gudalur region in the past ten years to eat rice. Last month, a woman died when her house collapsed during the attack.
Another woman was kicked to death. After becoming a permanent threat in Pantallur region, the forest department of Tamil Nadu caught it and released it in Muthumala forest after attaching a radio collar. The elephant, which started its journey a month ago, reached Sultanbatheri by crossing 170 km. Meanwhile, two weeks ago, the forest department had chased it back from Muthanga.
Departing from the Sathyamangalam forest of the Muthumala Wildlife Sanctuary, we crossed the Kerala border through the Bandipur forest and first reached Kuppadi. Later entered the Kurichyad forest range. He was in Kurichyad region for three days. It was from Kattayat that they entered Sultanbatheri town on Friday morning and attacked a passerby. An elephant has also broken the wall of a jewelery shop at night. After the violence, he again passed through the forest and reached the vicinity of the lower Kuppadi.

Roaming in Chappakolli and Kattayat forest. The forest department has intensified surveillance to avoid entering the residential area. 24/7 monitoring is possible with the installation of a radiocollar. Instead of capturing them by drugging, the plan is to drive them back into the Karnataka forest using kunkianas. The forest department says that the elephants that normally cross the border are returning from the Kurichyat range, but it is believed that they may have been attacked by other elephants and have reached the residential area from there.

It is said that the katana came to the settlement and then to Sultanbatheri town by climbing through the trench created by the rainwater in the area where the rail fencing was installed on the Kattaiad forest boundary.
The injured Subairkutty says that the hand rail that separates the footpath from the road in Batherytown saved his life. He was hit with the trunk. It was only because there was a hand rail that it was not stepped on. While walking, I felt something coming from behind. Subairkutty says that by the time he looked back, the elephant had fallen.
