Saddam, a witness who saw everything happen, described what happened. He said that Karthik went down the parking lot’s Basement 3 to deal with the waterlogging problem. Nevertheless, the deadly electrocution was caused by the effort to run the pump.
Police have acknowledged receiving Karthik’s corpse and have opened an inquiry into what happened. The police have opened a case and are investigating the facts surrounding the occurrence.

A wild elephant in Kerala’s Wayanad area perished due to electricity on a privately owned farm situated in the steep terrain. Forest authorities claimed that the event took place in the Ammaani region. According to DH, the male elephant is thought to have been electrocuted when an electric wire fell on it as it was bringing down a big coconut tree. A postmortem examination will be performed to ascertain the elephant’s actual age.

In order to deal with the problem, the elephant’s corpse was raised by cranes and transported to a remote woodland location for further testing and interment. When the landowner went to investigate the cause of the power outage on the property, he found evidence of the occurrence.
