They have done tests and the elephants died of cyanide poisoning, The cyanide came from contaminated tomatoes from local farms.
The tomatoes would have been contaminated to stop the elephants from eating the farms produce. Cyanide is very dangerous and could kill other animals, including livestock.

Using poison is very dangerous. It doesn't just kill the target animals. They shouldn't be killing elephants anyhow.
Also they poisoned a plant that humans eat. That could have a whole different set of results. Would those tomatoes be safe for humans to eat.
Yes there is a conflict between farmers and elephants. This conflict needs to be resolved. Poisoning elephants is not the solution.
