Mysore/Mysuru: Early in the morning on June 8, 2011, two elephants charged through the streets of Mysuru and damaged cars. Several people were injured in the panic and one man, a security guard at an ATM, was killed by an elephant and the jumbo then gored a cow to death. The elephants had got separated from a herd that had strayed out of T. Narasipur forests.
It took more than five hours for experts to be able to get close enough to one of the elephants — aged between 8 and 10 — to tranquilise him. The trouble began on June 7, 2011, when four elephants were separated from their herd after villagers chased them away from their fields nearby.
