Five elephants were lined up as part of a ritual at remote Pulappatta village in the Palakkad district. One of them went berserk and started flinging away parked vehicles, especially motorbikes and autorickshaws. Initially, the animal s tusk was tethered to something, but it managed to break free and went on a rampage. Two mahouts tried to tame the animal, but to little avail.
