A woman was killed after coming into contact with an electric trap set to deter wild elephants in Lama upazila of Bandarban. The incident occurred early Tuesday in the South Haydarnashi area of Fasiakhali Union, inside an orchard owned by Gias Uddin. The deceased was identified as Ruby Akter, 38, wife of Abdus Shukkur from the same village. Police recovered the body after being informed of the incident.
According to local accounts, wild elephants had been damaging croplands in the area, prompting Gias Uddin to install an electric trap around his orchard to protect it. When Ruby Akter entered the field early in the morning, she accidentally came into contact with the live wire and died on the spot. Police said legal action would be taken regarding the incident.
Authorities have not yet disclosed further details about possible charges or preventive measures to avoid similar accidents in the future.
