The deceased was identified as Aboobacker N A (74), a resident of Vadacode in Kaippadamughal, Thrikkakara North. According to police, the incident took place around 7.45 pm on Saturday when a buffalo that had been grazing allegedly turned aggressive and began damaging nearby plants and trees, according to news agency PTI.
