In a tragic incident, a 22-year-old man was trampled to death by a wild elephant in Kerela’s Mundur, Palakkad.
Alan, a native of Kairamkode, was riding a two-wheeler with his mother when they were attacked on Sunday night by an elephant just 50 metres from their home. The duo was returning from a relative’s house in Puthupariyaram when the incident occurred around 8 p.m.
Alan succumbed to his injuries while being taken to the hospital. His mother, who sustained injuries in the attack, was initially admitted to the District Hospital and later shifted to the Thrissur Medical College Hospital for further treatment.
