The body of Indira Ramakrishnan, 70, a resident of Kanjiraveli, near Adimaly who was trampled to death by a wild tusker was cremated on Tuesday.
Unlike the mass protests in Kothamangalam town where her body was taken for inquest and post-mortem examination on Monday, the funeral passed off peacefully.
Devikulam MLA A. Raja and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) Idukki convener attended the funeral. However, representatives of the Revenue and Forest departments were conspicuous by their absence. Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine and Industries Minister P. Rajeeve handed over the body to the relatives on Monday night.
