Shobha Amritha (45) was out in the forest near the village collecting some fodder for her cattle when she was trampled by a wild elephant and succumbed to injuries. Following this incident, the MLA wanted to visit her family on Monday. The residents of the village, however, felt that it is the MLA's duty to control the elephant menace.
