A 70-year-old farmer named Ummer from Ponpara, Mannarkkad, was trampled to death by a wild elephant at Cholamanna on Monday evening.
Ummer had gone to his rubber estate for tapping in the morning but did not return home in the evening. During a search for Ummer, local people heard an elephant trumpeting and soon his trampled body was found nearby.
The police shifted the body to hospital. Ummer is survived by wife, Sulekha, and three daughters.
