The operation to capture the wild elephant that strayed onto the Karnatak University campus in Dharwad on Sunday continued on Monday.
After being alerted by some shepherds who spotted the wild elephant in an open space behind the Police Training Academy on Kalghatgi Road near Dharwad, a team of officials led by Deputy Conservator of Forests Yashpal Ksheersagar rushed to the spot.
Mr. Ksheersagar said that the elephant had tried to cross the bypass road but had retracted owing to movement of vehicles and subsequently, strayed back to the sand depot behind the Police Training Academy.

A Bench led by Justice L. Nageswara Rao released a Ranchi-based coal businessman, booked under the draconian Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, on bail. Extortion money paid to a terrorist organisation to protect one’s business is not terror funding, the Supreme Court has said in a judgment.

Sudesh Kedia was charged with funding of terror. But Mr. Kedia said he, in fact, was a victim of extortion. He had been paying money to a terror gang, Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC), to ensure that he would be able to carry on with his business.

A wild tusker which was repeatedly raiding agricultural fields in Ammathi and surrounding areas in Kodagu was trapped in an operation conducted by the Forest Department on Saturday.
The tusker, aged about 32 years, was sighted in the Ammathi-Hoskote region a few days and there were complaints of the elephant going berserk which created panic among the local people.
The Forest Department launched an operation with six camp elephants and 60 staff who zeroed in on the wild tusker and managed to corner it. Camp elephant Abhimanyu was accompanied by elephants Arjuna, Gopalkrishna, Ganesha, Gajendra and Bhima who closed in enabling the veterinarians to fire a tranquilizer.
