2 wildebeests died after touching the electric wire fence laid on the farm

Two wildebeests died in the maize field of Channahalli under Shettihalli sanctuary near Ayanur.

The farmers of Aranyadanch area have installed electric wire fence in the corn field. The wild animals that came to the corn field were electrocuted and died on the spot. 20 and 22 year old male elephants died. Forest officials have visited the place and inspected it.

It is suspected that the electric wire has been installed to hunt wild boar. Chandra Naik, the owner of the land, is absconding.
