Summary:
more-inPanic gripped the Eloor region on Saturday when an elephant brought for parading at a temple here turned restive. On hearing the news of the elephant turning violent, a huge crowd gathered at the place, but it did not attack anyone. The jumbo then attacked its mahout Prasad who had a providential escape. The trouble began in the morning when the elephant, Puthupally Arjunan, became hostile while being taken for a bath at a house near the Narathu Sreekrishna Swami Temple. The mahout, who sustained a severe leg injury, was admitted to a private hospital in Kalamassery..
