Bengaluru: Elderly Man Killed in Elephant Attack Near Mysuru Road
CCTV showed an elephant near the apartments at 5:11 a.m., and forest officials said only a postmortem can confirm the cause of death.
- On Monday, 60-year-old Nagaraju of Anchepalya died following a suspected elephant attack near Mysuru Road in Doddabele village around 5 a.m.
- The elephant likely traveled from the Bannerghatta Wildlife Sanctuary to the BM Kaval Forest, a route rare in this area; previous sightings occurred around 4-5 years ago.
- CCTV footage from Vaarahi Vivarea Apartments captured the elephant on Malhar Avenue Road at 5:11 a.m., while Nagaraju walked with his daughter.
- Local residents rushed Nagaraju to RajaRajeswari Medical College, where he succumbed to his injuries; Range Forest Officer N.R. Kamble launched a search operation.
- Dr. Nidhi Paliwal and residents attribute the conflict to forest encroachments near the Kaggalipura Range, arguing the government must address habitat loss rather than opposing the ESA.
