The elephant was electrocuted after it came into contact with an illegal electric fence put up by M Eswaran, 40, in Mettukkal coming under the Kotagiri Forest Range. Officials said that Eswaran took the help of two others S Katturaja, 27 and S Nithish Kumar, 24, to bury the carcass. Nithish Kumar died in a road mishap in 2019.
