Keralam Gaur kills man, relative dies in shock; people refuse to cremate bodies seeking assurance

In Kerala, a man named Sunil was killed by a gaur while working with forest officials to relocate the animal from a residential area. His relative Vijesh died of a heart attack following the incident. Local residents have refused to cremate the victims' bodies until the government assures them that wild gaurs will be removed from the area. They demand ₹25 lakh in compensation for Sunil's family and accuse authorities of inadequate measures against the aggressive animals, which have damaged crops and posed a danger to residents. An MLA stated that the specific gaur responsible will be identified, and initial compensation of ₹5 lakh will be provided to the family.
