The photograph of the funeral procession was shared by the JD(U) lawmaker on social media.
“He was like our child and my husband brought it here in 2004 when it was only one year-old,” the MLA said.
She said, “We tried our best to save Krishna, but failed. Veterinary doctors who were treating him couldn’t save him and he left us after 19 years on Thursday morning.”
The MLA’s family said they will observe a 13-day mourning and organise a community feast.
