A tusker was found electrocuted at Nandibattalu in Tarikere taluk on
Thursday.

The 20-year-old animal came in contact with an electric fencing installed
to protect an agricultural farm. Officers of the Forest Department reached
the spot after they received information about the incident. Based on a
complaint from forest officials, the Lingadahalli police have registered a
case against owners of the agricultural land for putting up the electric
fence.

Several parts of Hassan and Chikkamagaluru districts are known for
man-elephant conflicts. Recently, a woman died in an elephant attack in
Mudigere taluk, forcing the department to launch an operation to capture
the problematic elephants. Residents of villages affected by the elephant
menace have been demanding the capture of all elephants roaming in the
region.
