Kodagu: A wild elephant, accompanied by a baby elephant, attacked a canteen in Nellihudikeri, located in the Somwarpet taluk, early on Tuesday morning. The couple running the canteen narrowly escaped the attack, managing to flee in time.
The elephant, crossing the road near Attimangal Estate with the baby, suddenly charged towards the nearby canteen. The animal overturned tables, utensils, and snacks before causing a ruckus. The elephant eventually retreated after hearing the commotion from villagers at the nearby bus stop. It continued its journey towards Nallattikere village, where it attempted to attack a parked car.
The canteen owners, Jabbaar and his wife, survived the attack, though Jabbaar sustained minor injuries. The wild elephant's sudden appearance caused panic among the villagers, students, and workers in the area. Locals have demanded that the forest department initiate an operation to safely capture the elephant.
