Left tethered under the blazing sun for hours, the camel turned on its owner in a brutal attack, biting off his head.

In a tragic turn of events, an Indian man who left his camel tied up in the scorching heat all day ended up losing his life to the very animal he owned.

As he attempted to untie the camel, the animal suddenly turned violent, launching a brutal attack and tearing off his head.

“The camel grabbed him by the neck, threw him to the ground, bit his body, and severed his head,” villager Thakara Ram told The Times of India.

It took a team of 25 people nearly six hours to finally subdue the enraged animal.

Some villagers in Rajasthan claimed that the camel had attacked Urjaram before.
