A 26-year-old man at Chandor village in Bengal’s Murshidabad district was
killed by a wild elephant on Thursday morning.
This is the first such incident of an elephant attack in Murshidabad in
recent years. The victim was identified as Rajkumar Tori, a labourer. He
was killed near the Bagdapara deer forest, not far from his home.
Local gram panchayat member Tinku Lakra said, “Tori is survived by his
mother, wife and a six-month-old son.”
“Villagers spotted a herd of five elephants a few days ago. The herd
apparently came from Jharkhand. One of the elephants left the herd and
entered our village,” Lakra said.
Forest department officers visited the spot. The villager was rushed to the
Beniagram Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
