Neglected camel kills owner after hours tied in scorching heat
A camel in India reportedly severed the head of his owner, killing the man who left the creature tethered for hours in extreme heat, with no water or shade.
In 2016, a camel, tied with its legs bound in sweltering temperatures topping 120 degrees, finally snapped—turning a hot afternoon into a headline-grabbing tragedy no one in the village will soon forget.
The incident took place in the Barmer district of India, a desert region already infamous for its punishing climate. According to reports, temperatures had soared past a blistering 109 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving both humans and animals gasping for relief.
But for one unfortunate camel, there was no escape.
Tethered in the scorching sun for hours without water or shade, the animal’s patience – and perhaps its spirit – finally snapped.
Distressed camel
Times of India reports that the camel’s owner, identified as Urjaram, had been entertaining guests inside when he suddenly remembered his animal had been left outside, tied up and helpless under the brutal sun.
Witnesses say the camel had been visibly distressed, pacing and growling – an eerie warning of what was to come.
When Urjaram finally approached to untie the beast, the camel erupted in a fit of rage that shocked everyone.
Revenge
What followed was nothing short of gruesome.
Eyewitnesses described the horrifying moment when the camel lunged, grabbed Urjaram by the neck, and flung him to the ground.
“The animal lifted him by the neck and threw him on to the ground, chewed the body and severed the head,” a local told the publication of the animal, who reportedly bit into the man’s body repeatedly, even severing his head in front of stunned villagers.
But the violence didn’t end there. The camel continued its rampage, refusing to calm down. It took 25 villagers nearly six hours to finally restrain the frenzied animal, using ropes and a truck to drag it away from what was left of Urjaram.
What makes this even more disturbing is that several locals claimed this wasn’t the first time the two had clashed. There was, according to them, a long-standing tension between the owner and the camel – a storm waiting to break.
