As the vehicle stopped, the elephant walks towards the truck and puts his trunk inside the window to steal some eatables. The terrified driver and another person hurriedly provided the animal a bunch of bananas.
As the elephant secured its favorite fruit, it pulled its trunk out of the vehicle and the driver drove away his vehicle from the scene.
Commenting on the incident, a forest officer said that people should not feed wild animals near forest areas as they become habitual of new taste and they started coming to roads and near humans. He said that it could be dangerous for people.
