But to be caught at an unprecedented situation as the villagers did not allow them to rescue the calf calling it a deity. 

Instead they started offering pujas to protect them  while a section of them fled from the spot. A freightened calf fell tired and slept on the ground. The calf was gently lifted onto a mini-truck and was transported to the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation at Kaziranga.
