Biju, a local auto driver, came out of his house with his wife Daisy after hearing the trumpets of an elephant outside.

Recounting the incident, a teary-eyed Daisy said that the animal was seen trying to uproot a coconut tree in the surrounding area.

"We went out together, hearing the sounds of the elephant near our home early in the morning. The first time it happened, we came back home together. But he went to the road again as the elephant was trumpeting," Daisy told reporters here.
