What began as a routine elephant bathing session at Karnataka’s famous Dubare elephant camp turned tragic after two trained elephants suddenly fought near visitors, leaving a 33-year-old tourist from Tamil Nadu dead, a PTI report stated. Officials said the woman was crushed when one of the elephants lost balance and fell during the clash.
The incident took place in Karnataka’s Kodagu district, where tourists had gathered near the river to watch the elephants being bathed. According to officials, the two trained elephants, Kanjan and Marthanda, started fighting while handlers were washing them in the water.
