Bengaluru: Two elephants were electrocuted after they came into contact with a live wire inside the Bannerghatta National Park near here, Forest Department authorities said on Sunday.
"Two elephants died of electrocution. I went to the spot yesterday (Saturday) and observed that there is an electric line near a water body and those electric poles are bent which caused the electrocution," Principal Chief Conservator of Forest Ajai Misra said.
