Brought to ECCC in February 2017 following an intense emergency rescue operation, Sanjay had spent more than fifty years in abusive captivity being exploited in ceremonies, weddings and processions. Besides suffering from partial blindness, his feet were in a pathetic state with cracked toenails and painfully swollen foot-pads, and he had a fracture in his hind limb that made even the slightest movement extremely agonizing. The cruel treatment meted out to him in captivity was evident from how meek and withdrawn he was around people.
Since his rescue, Sanjay is slowly growing more confident and gradually recovering from his traumatic past, while discovering the joy of nutritious food and people that care about him.
