The injured mahout was first taken to the nearest private hospital in Kerala, where he succumbed to injuries.
An elephant killed its mahout, a 42-year-old man after it ran amok during a temple festival in Kerala's Irijalakkuda. The deceased is identified as Nandan, a native of Palakkad.
The elephant, Sreekrishnan, turned violent during a ceremony at Kizhthani Temple. The violent elephant stabbed its mahout and ran through the private property near the temple and even destroyed the plantain farming in the neighbouring area.
