evidence: A social media post accompanying a video, which shows an elephant running amok, stopping immediately after seeing a man, is being widely shared. The video is being shared associating it to a story, stating that the elephant, ran into the village in search of food, without the mahout, and on its way back, spots the mahout and explains him that it is hungry in sign language. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. [...] However, in the viral post, this part of elephant chewing is misconstrued as it trying to tell the mahout that it is hungry. However, none of the above-mentioned reports attributed any such narrative as claimed in the viral post.
