Police on Sunday registered a case against Tamil Nadu Electricity Board
(TNEB) personnel for negligence that led to the electrocution of a
27-year-old tusker near Kambinallur.

The case was registered based on a complaint filed by Chengalpattu-based
activist K Manoharan.

The tusker was electrocuted when it came in contact with a low-lying HT
line while climbing a lake bed near Kambainallur in the district.
Kambainallur sub-inspector M Selvaraj said, "The tusker could have been
saved if they had checked the live wire properly."

Meanwhile, Palacode forest range officials have also registered a case
under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
