Belthangady: Autorickshaw wrecked in wild elephant attack
Belthangady: A wild elephant attack left an autorickshaw completely destroyed in an incident reported early Friday morning at Boliyaru near Dharmasthala.
Dinesh, a resident of Boliyaru, was driving towards Dharmasthala from his home when a wild elephant suddenly appeared in the middle of the road near his house. Alarmed by the sight, he immediately abandoned the vehicle and fled to safety.
The elephant then charged at the autorickshaw, smashing it completely and pushing it into a nearby drain. Hearing the commotion, Dinesh’s wife and neighbours rushed to the spot. By the time they arrived, the elephant had retreated into the forest.
Shocked at the condition of the vehicle, Dinesh reportedly collapsed and was taken home by his family for medical attention.
Forest department officials and members of the local gram panchayat later visited the site and inspected the damage.
