A 60-year-old woman was trampled to death and another was injured when a wild elephant attacked them at Achalu village in Kanakapura in the early hours of Monday.
The deceased has been identified as Jayamma and the injured woman is Venkatalakshmmamma, 52. According to officials, the duo were part of a five-member women’s group who were on their way to a sesame plantation to work as contract labourers.
While the group was walking barely a few metres away from their residence, they noticed the elephant charging towards them.
