Dhenkanal: A giant tusker got electrocuted in Hindol forest range of Dhenkanal district on Thursday after coming in contact with a live wire.
Residents spotted the dead elephant at a farmland near Karnapur beat house and informed forest officials.
According to a preliminary investigation report, the tusker got trapped in electric wires laid on the ground by poachers.
