Man Killed in Wild Elephant Attack at Aralam Farm in Kerala's Kannur

A 43-44-year-old man named Aneesh was killed in a wild elephant attack at Aralam farm in Kannur, Kerala, early on February 27. The elephant charged at him near his home around 4 am, causing fatal injuries. Aneesh's death is among multiple such incidents amid rising human-wildlife conflicts in the region, attributed to habitat fragmentation and incomplete preventive measures like an unfinished elephant wall. Authorities have initiated investigations and plan to enhance monitoring.
