A elephant claimed the life of a 58-year old man named Niranjan Roy, a
resident of Salugara Shivnagar under Bhakti Nagar police station.
As per the report, a herd of 4 elephants came out of the Baikunthapur
forest last night and entered the residential area. As soon as Roy stepped
out of his house, one of the elephants dragged him from behind with its
trunk and trampled him to death.
Following this, the forest workers of Salugara Range rushed him to the
Siliguri District Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead. Roy's body
was taken for autopsy this morning.
Meanwhile, the family of the deceased approached the forest department
demanding compensation.
