ee people, including one of its handlers, police said. Television footage showed the adult male elephant charging through the temple compound. It knocked down a thatched awning, tried to batter its way through a steel gate and finally trampled a man, kicking the limp body several yards through the air. The elephant was being used during a ceremony for a regional festival in the southern Thrissur district when it suddenly went wild, killing a man and a woman and then a handler who was trying to bring it under control, police officer Jay Prakash said.
