A man was killed in an elephant attack during a morning walk at Dhoni, near here, on Friday, triggering a wave of protests over the attitude of forest officials.
Sivaraman, 60, a native of Dhoni, was part of an eight-member group of elderly persons who hit the road around 5.30 a.m. for the daily walk. When an elephant from the nearby forest charged at them, the walkers ran for cover. However, Sivaraman was trampled by the elephant.
