In an unusual incident, a Bihar man wrote his will and transferred his property worth Rs 5 crore to his two elephants, Moti and Rani. The incident has stunned the internet after Akhtar Imam, an animal lover bestowed his wealth to the animals instead of humans citing “trust issues”.  

According to ANI, Akhtar has been living and taking care of two of his beloved pets Moti and Rani since the age of 12. The man has also dedicated an animal welfare trust in their names, therefore, after he wrote his will for the elephants to acquire his property worth Rs 5 crores in case of his demise, the trust would ensure the safety and well being of the elephants he is exceedingly fond of. "Once, there was an attempt of murder made against me. At that time the elephants saved me. When some miscreants armed with pistols tried to enter my room my elephant started trumpeting. It woke me up and I was able to shout and raise an alarm due to which the miscreants ran away," Akhtar said.

But he is right. Animals are much much much better than Humans,” wrote the second.  

For the last 10 years, the man had been living solitary away from his wife and children for who he wrote the rest half of his property. The remaining property, worth over Rs 5 crore, includes farms, houses, and bank balance, which he has named as the elephants as the sole proprietors. As per the news agency report, Akhtar alleged that his own family members and loved ones despised him for his act and threatened to sell the animals to the smugglers. Therefore, the man appealed to Bihar's Chief Conservator and Patna Police for assistance.
