The actress asked the Colaba police to intervene in the matter after the elephant named Sunder was found suffering from a deep wound on his leg, NDTV Movies reports.
"Sunder is a young kid who has not seen anything but loneliness, cruelty and pain," said Jaitley.
"PETA is doing everything possible to rescue Sunder from his misery. It's high time for Sunder's abusers to be brought to justice.
"I really hope that the Forest Department and authorities move Sunder as soon as possible before he is hurt again. We will do everything it takes to free this child!" she added.
During a recent veterinary inspection by an elephant expert, the 14-year-old elephant was found with a massive wound as a result of being tied constantly with heavy chains.
The expert's report also stated that Sunder be moved from Kolhapur to an elephant-care centre in Bangalore "on an emergency basis" as directed by the Bombay High Court.
PETA has been campaigning for Sunder's release since 2012 and is represented in the Supreme Court by leading animal advocate Raj Panjwani.
Jaitley is an ardent campaigner for animal rights and actively supports the work of PETA India.
