A day after the death of P.D. Abraham of Kakkayam in Koorachundu grama panchayat in Kozhikode district of Kerala in a wild gaur attack, the police could not take up inquest proceedings on March 6 (Wednesday) morning after local residents and his family members insisted on fulfilling of their demands, including an unconditional order to shoot the animal dead.
Their other demands include a government job for one of the family members, a compensation of ₹50 lakh, and steps such as fencing to ward off attacks by wild animals.
Abraham’s body had been kept at the mortuary of the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, since March 5 evening. Abraham was killed while he was at his farmland on March 5 afternoon.
