Dr Prasanta Boro, WTI-IFAW veterinarian, was called in, when it became clear that it was impossible for the rhino to 'pull free' on its own.

"There was a huge crowd gathered around the rhino, which must have unnerved it.
There was no way it could have got out on its own.
It was fatigued from repeated attempts at pulling herself out of the mud and could barely move when I reached there," Dr Boro said.
Civil Administration personnel intervened to help disperse the crowds of people, who thronged the site to get a closer glimpse of the helpless animal.
Reportedly, a woman was injured as she got too close.
After preliminary examination, Dr Boro administered injectibles comprising life-saving drugs and multi-vitamins.
