The deceased is Amar Ilahi, of Paliyath house, Amelthotty, in Mullaringadu. His friend Mansoor, 41, suffered injuries while trying to run away from the elephant.
The incident happened on Sunday around 3.30pm. Amar along with Mansoor had gone to bring back his cow which was left to graze in the teak plantation near his house. Meanwhile, two wild elephants which were standing inside the plantation came charging at the duo.
One of the jumbos trampled Amar; however, Mansoor managed to escape from being attacked by the other jumbo.
