Male elephant found dead in BRT Tiger Reserve in Chamarajanagar
Chamarajanagar: A male elephant was found dead near Erekatte Lake in the Purani section of the Yelandur forest range under the Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple (BRT) Tiger Reserve in Chamarajanagar district, forest officials said.
The deceased elephant is believed to be a tusker aged between 30 and 35 years. Preliminary assessment by the forest department suggests that the elephant may have died following a fight with another male elephant.
The carcass was detected during routine patrolling by forest staff in the Purani section, after they noticed a strong foul smell in the area. A search led to the discovery of the elephant’s body near the lake. Officials said the area showed clear signs of a struggle, including multiple footprints, disturbed soil and marks indicating a clash between elephants.
Senior forest department officials visited the spot and carried out an inspection. The exact cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem examination, officials said.

Udaipur Police arrest three, including company CEO, in alleged gang rape of employee
Udaipur: The Udaipur Police have arrested three people, including the chief executive officer and a senior executive of a private company and the executive’s husband, in connection with the alleged gang rape of a female employee in a moving car, officials said on Thursday.
The arrests were made after the survivor filed a complaint. Following her complaint, her statement was recorded and a medical examination conducted, as reported by India Today. District Superintendent of Police Yogesh Goyal said the medical report noted injury marks that prima facie support the allegation of gang rape.
Police said the accused, identified as Jeetesh Sisodia, the CEO of GKM IT Private Limited, his colleague Gaurav, and Gaurav’s wife Shilpa, were being produced before a court for further legal proceedings.
According to the complaint, the incident took place after a birthday and New Year party hosted by the CEO at a hotel in the Shobhagpura area on December 20. The survivor said she reached the hotel around 9 pm and the gathering continued until about 1.30 am. The CEO, a senior female executive, and her husband were among those present.
The survivor stated that after she began feeling intoxicated, she was offered a lift home. She alleged that instead, she was persuaded to join an after-party. Around 1.45 am, she was seated in a car with the CEO and the executive’s husband, while the executive later joined them. The group allegedly stopped at a shop to buy smoking material, after which she was made to smoke and subsequently lost consciousness.
In her complaint, the woman said that when she regained partial awareness, she found the CEO molesting her and alleged that all three accused sexually assaulted her. Despite repeatedly asking to be taken home, she was dropped only around 5 am.
The survivor further reported that after fully regaining consciousness, she noticed injuries to her private parts. She also found that some of her belongings, including an earring, socks and undergarments, were missing.
Police said a webcam installed in the car used during the incident recorded audio and video, which might be useful during the on going investigation.
