AAA A 26-year-old man died after being attacked by an elephant during an accidental encounter while he was returning home from a temple near Kunjapannai on late Tuesday night.
Forest department officials identified the deceased as R. Rajkumar, a resident of Semmanarai, a tribal village in the area. It was believed that Rajkumar had gone to visit a temple nearby and was returning home when he crossed paths with an elephant. Forest department officials believe that the elephant was spooked by Rajkumar, who could have inadvertently got too close to the animal.
