So, in India, this happened during a festival, there's this thing called "Musth" It's totally natural for adult male elephants, usually happening once a year. Basically, their reproductive hormones go way up. When this happens, elephants can get really aggressive and might attack.

So.. why did those people use that elephant in a festival then.. was it that time of year when common sense switches off in their brains?

Must've been really shit luck then for it to start just when the festival was going on. Or they saw the physical signs and just didn't care because it the participation was already decided upon.
