Woman Maoist trampled to death by wild elephant in Malappuram

There are reports that a woman Maoist was trampled to death by a wild elephant in Malappuram. A notice brought out by the CPI (Maoist) Western Ghats special regional committee states that a native of Malampuzha, Kattekad of Palakkad Latha was trampled to death by a wild elephant.
Latha, who works for the Bhavani group of Maoist's Western Ghats committee, has been in hiding for the past 15 years.

The incident seems to have took place on August 6, when a wild elephant attacked Latha in the Naadukani jungle of Malappuram. The organisation has expressed their regret at cremating the body without showing it to her relatives or other Maoist activists. The notice also says that the body has been cremated within the jungle.

Meanwhile, the police have started an investigation on the Maoist notice.
Reports say that neither the police nor the forest guards were aware of such an accident and death.
