The carcass of a 25-year-old elephant was discovered in farmland in Arkalgud, Hassan, on Saturday. Forest officials suspect it may have died from electric shock or a gunshot, but the exact cause is still unknown. The incident follows a rise in human-elephant conflicts in the region, with four people attacked by elephants since January. Two elephants also died under suspicious circumstances in nearby areas. Locals protested after an elephant attack killed a woman on Friday, demanding action from officials. The protest ended after promises were made to capture the elephants involved.
